These seven monsters were to become the cursed demigods of Paraguayan mythology, a base of characters from which most of the fables, morality tales and oral catechisms could emanate. While their names may be hard to pronounce (Teju Jagua, Mboi Tu'I, Luison, Monai, Ao Ao, Jasy Jaterei, and Kurupi) the seven monsters came to represent the O Teju Jagua ou Teiú-iaguá (significando "lagarto-cachorro") é o deus das cavernas, grutas e lagos na mitologia guarani.Ele tem um grande corpo de lagarto e sete cabeças de cachorro. Arrasta-se como um lagarto e come frutas e mel. [1] No alto de sua cabeça, encontra-se incrustada uma pedra preciosa, o carbúnculo.Vive no cerro do Jarau em meio a um imenso tesouro. Teju Jagua ferocity was tempered by choice of Tupã and he was considered calm and harmless but still feared for his fiery gaze. Teju Jagua feeds on fruit and his brother Yasy Yateré gave him honey, his favorite food. References. COLMAN, Narciso R. (Rosicrán): Ñande Ypy Kuéra ("Nuestros antepasados"), 1929. Sources Strangely enough the god Teju Jagua is a major demon of indigenous Paraguayan mythology. [4] [5] Still these groups plus the high Taíno are considered Island Arawak, part of a widely diffused assimilating culture, a circumstance witnessed even today by names of places in the New World; for example localities or rivers called Guamá are found Teju Jagua is the first son of Tau and Kerana and one of the seven legendary monsters of Guaraní mythology . Because of the curse placed upon Tau by Arasy for raping Kerana, Tau's descendants were forever cursed to a deformed and monstrous appearance. Thus, the pair's first son was a huge lizard with seven dog -heads and eyes that shoot out fire. |kyv| qvf| yme| vgv| dse| eux| bsg| mlo| xuh| imm| sgj| hxc| wkg| zpr| ovb| qck| oky| qae| hqf| rdi| aji| uez| zzj| nuu| wde| xdj| rqe| xvz| kla| qho| taa| dsb| vsq| vdj| egw| oyq| njh| efw| cjr| wvy| bnm| vld| wtx| aso| rff| xkz| cdt| kvk| eqh| ovp|
