Does anyone know the legend of how the condor hung the sun?

Question

I read it during a visit to the zoo in Akron, Ohio. It was called "Condor Hangs the Sun" and I think it's a Native American legend. I've searched the Internet several ways, but haven't been able to find anything. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

From the Akron Zoo website -- "And the Incas of Peru thought the Condor flew the sun into their sky every morning.  They thought it was a messenger to the gods."

So - it is not the Condor who hung the sun in the sky -- but that the condor moved the sun through the sky for the gods. -- or so it seemed to me after looking at various on-line materials.    

But, you're right -- I can't find any actual retelling of the legend on-line.
