Whats it like? Structure and whatnot.

It's a creation story about two heroic brothers. It reads like any other myth: vague in places, lots of problems and monsters to overcome. It's mandatory if you're into Mesoamerican studies, it's not really fun otherwise.

Awh :( I've been reading a lot of cradle stuff (Gilgamesh, Ba'al, Book of the Dead) and I tend to like stuff like that. Would you say this is drier or something?

To me, it was just not relateable. It's a totally different tradition, and probably resembles what you may have found at Gobekli Tepe. Animal helpers, corners of the world associated with colors, and the brothers have almost an Orphic quality to them. If you liked Gilgamesh I think you'll be fascinated by similarities in the world-taming qualities of the brothers from all the way across the world.

Sounds kinda cool, I think I might put it on the back burner, though. Thanks for the help!
