Quetzalcoatl is a major deity in Mesoamerica n cultures, most notably the Aztecs, known as the Feathered Serpent. Associated with creation, wind, Venus, learning, and the arts, he was also a patron of the priesthood and was depicted as a hybrid of a bird and a serpent or in anthropomorphic forms like the god of wind, Ehecatl. Legends often feature him as a priest-king who was driven into exile and may have promised to return, a story that played a role in the initial encounters with the Spanish conquistadors
