BENTANCOR, Milton Hernán. DIOS, dioses y diositos: Una lectura de la primera parte del Popol Vuh en comparación con los primeros capítulos del Génesis. Enfoques [online]. 2012, vol.24, n.1, pp.5-17. ISSN 1669-2721.

Summary In the following paper we want to observe, from a literary point of view, the story of Creation in the Popol Vuh told by the Mayas - Quiches indigenous and compare it with the biblical story of Genesis. Finding the commonalities and differences between both texts will approach us to the idea of divinity that they present. Besides, we will be able to see the cosmogony and the literary stiles used in each case. As there are more differences (in quantity and in depth) than similarities, this analysis will let us go deeper in the idea of perfection and organization of the biblical God, as opposed to the almost human imperfection of the pre - Columbian American gods.
