Mayan Hero Twins: Hunahpu and Xbalanque fix a dual disaster—provoked by earlier folly.
The House of Bats: In the Popol Vuh, the hero twins Hunahpu and Xbalanque encounter Camazotz in the underworld during one of their trials.
The story narrates how Hunahpu loses his head to Camazotz, which is then used in a ballgame by the gods of the underworld.
The deities mentioned in the Popol Vuh include Hun Hunahpu, possibly seen as the Kʼicheʼ maize god by some, and a group of gods led by the Kʼicheʼ patron Tohil.
