Ahuiateteo
Group of five Aztec gods
Āhuiatēteoh (Nahuatl pronunciation: [aːwiyateːˈteoʔ]) or Mācuīltōnalequeh (Nahuatl pronunciation: [maːkʷiːɬtoːnaˈlekee̥]) were a group of five Aztec gods of excess and pleasure. They also represented the dangers that come along with these. These five gods were also invoked by diviners and mystics.[1] They were associated with the Tzitzimimeh, a group of frightening beings that personified death, drought, and war.[2]
The five gods are:[1]
- Mācuīlcōzcacuāuhtli (Nahuatl pronunciation: [maːkʷiːɬkoːsˈkaːʍt͡ɬi]; Five Vulture), the god of gluttony
- Mācuīlcuetzpalin (Nahuatl pronunciation: [maːkʷiːɬkʷet͡sˈpalin̥]; Five Lizard)
- Mācuīlmalīnalli (Nahuatl pronunciation: [maːkʷiːɬmaliːˈnalːi]; Five Grass)
- Mācuīltōchtli (Nahuatl pronunciation: [maːkʷiːɬˈtoːt͡ʃt͡ɬi]; Five Rabbit), the god of drunkenness
- Mācuīlxōchitl (Nahuatl pronunciation: [maːkʷiːɬˈʃoːt͡ʃit͡ɬ]; Five Flower), the god of gambling and music; also an aspect of Xōchipilli
