As legend has it, the great warrior Popo wanted to marry the beautiful princess Ixta. Her father told him if he was successful in the war that he could marry his daughter. So off to war Popo went. But it was a long war and it was three years before he returned. In those three years a scoundrel came and convinced Ixta's father that Popo had been killed in battle. Ixta was married against her will. When Popo came back alive and successful Ixta felt guilty for marrying the other guy, so she committed suicide. When Popo found out she was dead, he killed himself too. The mountain Ixta supposedly lookes like a woman on her back. Popo is a few miles away. His anger and sadness is still evident in his periodic eruptions.
