In Aztec mythology, the Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:IPA-nah or, the plural, Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:IPA-nah) were the gods of the southern stars. These "four hundred" (i.e. innumerable) brothers appear in some versions of the origin story of Шаблон:Lang, the god of the sun and war. In these myths, the Centzonhuītznāhua and their sister Шаблон:Lang feel dishonored upon learning that their mother, the goddess Шаблон:Lang, had become impregnated by a ball of feathers that she had tucked into her bodice.[1] The children conspire to kill their mother, but their plan is thwarted when, upon approaching their mother, Шаблон:Lang sprang from the womb—fully grown and garbed for battle—and killed them.[2][3]Шаблон:Lang beheaded his sister Шаблон:Lang, who became the moon. Шаблон:Lang chased after his brothers, who, in fleeing their brother, became scattered all over the sky.[4]
The Шаблон:Lang are known as the "Four Hundred Southerners"; the gods of the northern stars are the Шаблон:Lang.
