Piltzintecuhtli

Piltzintecuhtli

In Aztec mythology, Piltzintecuhtli was a god of the rising sun, healing, and visions, associated with Tōnatiuh. The name means "the Young Prince". It may have been another name for Tōnatiuh, but he is also mentioned as a possibly unique individual, the husband of Xōchiquetzal. He was the lord of the third hour of the night. Piltzintecuhtli was said to be the son of Oxomoco and Cipactonal and was seen as a protector of children. He was identified as the Youthful Sun.
