In Aztec mythology, Chicomecōātl "seven snakes", was the Aztec goddess of agriculture during the Middle Culture period. She is sometimes called "goddess of nourishment", a goddess of plenty and the female aspect of corn. She is regarded as the female counterpart of the maize god ''Centeōtl'', their symbol being an ear of corn. She is occasionally called ''Xilonen'', (meaning doll made of corn), who was married also to ''Tezcatlipoca''. She often appeared with attributes of ''Chalchiuhtlicue'', such as her headdress and the short lines rubbing down her cheeks. She is usually distinguished by being shown carrying ears of maize.〔 She is shown in three different forms: * As a young girl carrying flowers * As a woman who brings death with her embraces * As a mother who uses the sun as a shield〔 ==See also== *Centeōtl (Aztec god of maize) *Maya maize god 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chicomecoatl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
