Ok so there is one thing in Aztec Mythology that makes me curious about how it would play out in Onyx Equinox season 2 and that is the relationship between Tlaloc and Tezcatlipoca.
If you know anything about Aztec Mythology, you’re probably laughing right now.
For those who don’t know: Tlaloc was the god of the sun in the world of the third sun. The world of the third sun was destroyed because Tezcatlipoca seduced Xochiquetzal, Tlaloc’s wife, and stole her from him. So obviously there’s A LOT of beef there.
But that’s not where this ends.
Tezcatlipoca has four wives; Xochiquetzal, Chicomecoatl (also known as Xilonen), Huixtocihuatl, and Atlatonan.
Xochiquetzal is the goddess of fertility, sexuality, and pregnancy. She was the wife of Tlaloc before Tezcatlipoca snatched her up. So obviously Tlaloc hates Tezcatlipoca for stealing his wife.
Huixtocihuatl is the goddess of salt and is said to be the oldest sister of the rain gods.... which include Tlaloc... So yet ANOTHER woman in Tlaloc’s wife that Tezcatlipoca banged and married.
Atlatonan is a tricky one. There isn’t a lot of information about her, there isn’t even any codex art of her. Some sources say she’s an aspect of Coatlicue and therefore a mother goddess. But more sources say that she’s a goddess of water and coastlines and (guess it)... a daughter of Tlaloc who was ritually drowned....
Tezcatlipoca made off with Tlaloc’s wife, sister, and daughter.... And married all of them......
With Izel and the gang going up against Tezcatlipoca in season 2, I think it’s VERY LIKELY that Tlaloc is going to be a strong ally in their fight out of sheer pettiness.
And I, for one, am going to greatly enjoy seeing this go down.
