“They shall worship you first. Your name shall not be forgotten. Thus be it so,” they said to their father when they comforted his heart. “We are merely the avengers of your death and your loss, for the affliction and misfortune that were done to you.” Thus was their counsel when they had defeated all Xibalba.

Popol Vuh, ALLEN J. CHRISTENSON translation
