Question

How does the story of Xochipilli and Xochiquetzal differ from the story of Apollo and Pan?


help me I will medal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Pan learns that he is too confident in his own music and needs help while Xochipilli learns that he does not need anyone's help.
Pan realizes that he is a good artist and does not need a crowd, but Xochipilli understands that he needs a crowd for his art.
The game Pan proposes to Apollo is judged by Tmolus and a crowd, but Xochipilli and Xochiquetzal's game is not judged by anyone.
The music Pan makes is not as good as Apollo's music while the dances that Xochipilli creates are better than his sister's dances.

Answer 2

Xochipilli (zoe-shee-pee-lee) was the Aztec god of beauty, words, and poetry. He was the god of art. His twin sister Xochiquetzal (zoe-shee-ket-zal) was the Aztec goddess of flowers, dancing, and games.

How Art Came to Be Important
by c.safos

Xochipilli spent most of his days indoors. He had stories he wanted to tell. Those stories just wouldn't come out the right way. He wrote letters on blocks and placed each block on the floor of his house, hoping the stories would come to him.
Outside, Xochiquetzal spun in circles as the flowers moved into her spin. "I shall call that dance the Morning Glory," she said as the flowers fell to her feet. Every day, Xochiquetzal came up with dances. She created games to help her remember the dance steps.
Every day, she tried to get her brother Xochipilli to play in her dancing game. "I cannot dance Xochiquetzal," he would say "I have to get all of these words out."
One day, Xochiquetzal wanted Xochipilli to see her new dance, and she trotted into his room, kicking over the lettered blocks. "Oh no!" Xochipilli cried seeing all of his hard work trampled over. Xochiquetzal apologized and helped him gather his letters. As she moved the blocks, Xochipilli noticed something. The letters that were laid out started to make sense. The more that he and Xochiquetzal moved them around the better Xochipilli began to see the words. This made it easier for him to write the sentences and stories in his head.
Xochiquetzal's dance had created a game. That game helped Xochipilli write beautiful stories. Xochipilli taught his sister how to write, and Xochiquetzal taught her brother how to dance. Together, they showed everyone the importance of art.

Apollo was the Greek god of medicine and healing, light, and truth. However, he was also the god of music, song, and poetry.

Apollo and Pan's Musical Duel
adapted by c.safos

Pan, the Greek god of shepherds, flocks, and rustic music, practiced his music every day. He played and played until he decided that his music was sweeter than any he had ever heard. He was so pleased with his music that he decided that he would challenge Apollo to a game—a musical duel. He wanted to see who was the better musician. Apollo agreed, and the god Tmolus was chosen to judge the contest. A crowd gathered knowing they would be treated to the best music ever played.
Pan played first. He blew his pipes to a beautiful song that enchanted not just himself, but his follower, Midas, who attended the challenge. When he was done, Apollo then played his stringed lyre. From his first notes, everyone in the crowd, including Tmolus, agreed that Apollo's song was more beautiful than Pan's —everyone that is except for Midas.
Pan was heartbroken. Midas refused to say that Apollo's song was better. He stubbornly stood by his friend even though deep in his heart he knew that Apollo was the better musician. Apollo knew that Midas only sided with Pan because they were friends even though he was too stubborn to admit that Apollo was the better musician. To punish him, Apollo changed Midas' ears to donkey ears. This is what many believe is the cause for donkeys' stubbornness.
