The Aztecs believed Quetzalcoatl to be a prominent god associated with wind, air, and learning, often depicted as a feathered serpent. They regarded him as a creator deity and a cultural hero who brought civilization, agriculture, and knowledge to humanity. Quetzalcoatl was also seen as a patron of priests and the source of wisdom, and he played a significant role in their mythology and religious practices. His dual nature as both a god and a historical figure added to his significance in Aztec culture.
