The Legend of the Sleeping Woman

Iztaccíhuatl is the third highest mountain in Mexico, about 40 miles south of Mexico City. [1] Aztec legend tells us that the mountain peaks formed over the body of a girl who died from a broken heart.

According to legend, an emperor promised a warrior, Popocatépetl, that he could marry his daughter if he went to battle and came back alive. The emperor's daughter, Iztaccíhuatl, loved Popocatépetl very much and waited for him to come home. [2] This upset Iztaccíhuatl very much and she died; some say she died from sadness.

When Popocatépetl finally came back from war, he found Iztaccíhuatl dead. He carried her to a mountaintop and built a fire. [3] Over time, earth and snow covered their bodies and while Iztaccíhuatl became the mountain, Popocatépetl became the volcano.

Some people say that the mountain is in the shape of Iztaccíhuatl's body. [4] The legend also says that the smoke that comes from the nearby volcano is actually from Popocatépetl's fire that still burns.

There are many different stories about the shape of the mountain. [5] So next time you see the mountain, remember the legend of the sleeping woman.

A Because of this, people call the mountain 'The Sleeping Woman'.

B But the most popular one is that of the legend of the two lovers.

C One day, she received a letter from Popocatépetl's enemy saying that Popocatépetl was dead.

D Because everyone in Mexico knows about the legend.

E It may look like just a mountain, but if you look closer, you might notice the shape of a woman.

F Popocatépetl stayed there until he died too.
