Mesoamerican (Aztec / Nahua)
Quetzalcoatl
The Feathered Serpent, a god of wind, learning and the morning star.
Quetzalcoatl means "feathered serpent". In Aztec (Nahua) tradition he is linked with wind, learning, craft and the planet Venus as the morning star. Serpent gods with feathers appear in several earlier Mesoamerican cultures too, including the Maya, where the name is Kukulkan.
Stories about him vary a good deal between sources, so the version here is a retelling, not a single official account.
