If Coriantumr Would Give Himself Up That Shiz Might Slay Him

Alan C. Miner

According to Warren and Palmer, the demand that Coriantumr deliver himself for execution (see Ether 15:5) may have been the beginning of a later Maya tradition. It required the execution of the losing king after a battle (Schele and Miller, 1986). [Bruce W. Warren and David A. Palmer, The Jaredite Saga, p. 9-2, unpublished]
