Inca Myths - the dramatic stories the Incas told about themselves and the world around them - are only available to us from post-conquest documents written by Spanish conquistadors and chroniclers. Gary Urton looks at the basic elements of Inca culture and society described in these accounts and reviews the literary sources on which our knowledge of this ancient civilization's mythology is based.
