Corvus+Inca+General+Ollanta



Ollanta was the Inca general of Pachacuti a rather successful general who expanded the regime of Pachacuti. As a successful general he believed that he should be rewarded he then asked for his daughter's hand in marriage to which he was then denied. Pachacuti denied Ollanta the privilege of marrying his daughter as he was a mere commoner upon hearing this Ollanta revolted and was then imprisoned for the rest of his life. The story of Ollanta and his extensive victories and eventual downfall at the hands of Pachacuti was translated into a play by the name of //Ollantay// which to this day is still being acted out. Some believe it is merely a love story while others state that it is the origin story for the Inca tribe. Culturally Ollanta and the city in which he resided in are now named Ollantaytambo and is visited by tourists to study and admire the structures that despite being hundreds of years old still exist today.
