One of the main myths about Tezcatlipoca says that at a time Queztalcoalts ruled over Mexico, and he exerted a positive, civilizing influence, teaching people to grow crops, giving them laws, teaching them to love peace...etc.

But Tezcatlipoca would have nothing of it, so he tricked Queztalcoalt... he created pulque, an alcoholic drink, and got both Queztalcoalt and his sister Quetzalpetlatl (a virgin priestess) drunk, and had them sleep together and have sex...

Queztalcoalt's reputation was ruined, and he either commited suicide, becoming the planet Venus after death, or he sailed to the east...

As you can see, Tezcatlipoca combined Loki's personality with Zeus's rank...

Queztalcoalt (or his counterpart Kukulkan) was popular among many peoples, including several major allies of the Spaniards, so it may have contributed the mainly positive reputation of Queztalcoalt vs the mostly sinister reputation of Tezcatlipoca...
