I have often heard the story of the two volcanoes in Mexico told as a supposed Nahua legend of the warrior popocatepetl and the princess iztaccihuatl who couldn't have eachother and wound up turned into mountains. The story seems much closer to european romantic myth than to a genuine indigenous tale, although supposedly some Nahua communities do tell the tale now (I have read a version from Tetelcingo). Does any one know anything about the origins of this tale?
