The Pirarucu Legend

 

    Pirarucu was an Indian who belonged to the Uaiás

tribe that lived around the Lábrean plains in the

Southwestern Amazon. He was a brave, but heartless 
warrior, even though Pindarô, his father and chief 
[5] of the tribe, was a good man. Pirarucu was full of

vanities, egoism and excessively proud of his power. 
While his father visited friendly neighboring tribes, 
Pirarucu took advantage of his absence to take village 
people hostage and execute them for any reason. He 
[10] also criticized the gods.

    Tupã, the god of the gods, observed Pirarucu for a 
long time, until, tired of the man’s behavior, he decided 
to punish Pirarucu. Tupã called Polo and demanded 
that he spread his most powerful lightening in the 
[15] whole area. He also called Iururaruaçu, the goddess of 
torrents, and demanded that she provoke the strongest 
torrents of rain over Pirarucu, who was fishing along 
with other Indians on the margins of the Tocantins river, 
not so far from the longhouse.
[20] The fires of Tupã were seen throughout the forest. When 
Pirarucu saw the wild waters of the river, and heard the 
voice and felt the hate of Tupã, he just ignored them with 
a laugh and crazy words. Then, Tupã sent Xandoré, the 
demon that hates men, who threw lightening and thunder 
[25] that filled the air and cut it with sparks. Pirarucu tried to 
escape, but while he ran among the falling branches and 
trees, a lightening bolt sent by Xandoré, struck into the 
heart of the warrior who refused to ask for forgiveness.
     All of those who were with Pirarucu ran from the 
[30] jungle in total fright, while the body of Pirarucu, still 
alive, was taken to the depths of the Tocantins river 
and transformed into a giant and dark fish. Pirarucu 
remained there and for a long time he was the terror of 
the region.
