TED-Ed: The myth of the moon goddess | Cynthia Fay Davis

The story follows a moon goddess who becomes a skilled weaver, admired by the sun god. Her possessive grandfather prevents their union, leading the sun god to disguise himself as a hummingbird. After being injured, the moon goddess heals him, and they attempt to escape together. However, the storm god intervenes, and the moon goddess transforms into a crab, only to be killed. Dragonflies revive her, and she marries the sun god. Jealousy arises, leading to her departure with the Vulture King. The sun god apologizes, but his true nature resurfaces, causing the moon goddess to leave permanently. She becomes a symbol of Maya culture, with her story evolving over time.
