Centeotl
In Aztec mythology, Centeōtl ( lso known as Centeocihuatl or Cinteotl) is the maize deity. ''Cintli'' means "dried maize still on the cob" and ''teōtl'' means "deity".〔''Nahuatl Dictionary.'' (1997). Wired Humanities Project. University of Oregon. Retrieved September 1, 2012, from (link )〕 According to the Florentine Codex,〔. Miller, ''The Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya'' (London: Thames and Hudson, 1993) p62〕 Centeotl is the son of the earth goddess, Tlazolteotl and solar deity Piltzintecuhtli, the planet Mercury. Born on the day-sign 1 Xochitl.〔Hombres de Maíz. Miguel Angel Asturias p 398〕 〔Codex Vaticanus No. 3773 (Codex Vaticanus B) Eduard Seler p 101〕 Another myth claims him as the son of the goddess Xochiquetzal. The majority of evidence gathered on Centeotl suggests that he is usually portrayed as a young man (although a debate is still ongoing), with yellow body colouration.〔 Some specialists believe that Centeotl used to be the maize goddess Chicomecōātl. Centeotl was considered one of the most important deities of the Aztec era. There are many common features that are shown in depictions of Centeotl. For example there often seems to be maize in his headdress. Another striking trait is the black line passing down his eyebrow, through his cheek and finishing at the bottom of his jaw line. These face markings are similarly and frequently used in the late post-classic depictions of a Mayan maize god.
== Controversy ==
According to sources Cinteotl is the god of maize and subsistence and Centeotl corresponds to Chicomecoatl, the goddess of agriculture.
