Tlaloc is the Aztec god of rain and water, and in the flood stories of Mexico he stands close to the waters that ended an age.
In The History of Atlantis Lewis Spence sets Tlaloc and his consort next to Poseidon and Cleito:
Tlaloc, like Poseidon, is God of the Sea, and his face, armed with huge tusks, appears to be that of a walrus or similar marine animal.
In the same book Spence relates a Mexican myth in which Tlaloc raised the earth out of the waters of the deluge.
In The Problem of Atlantis Spence relates a flood myth in which the giant Xelhua escapes the deluge by climbing the mountain of Tlaloc.
On The 5 Suns Tlaloc, the god of rain, rules one of the world ages, and The sun Sol sets him over the third sun, Four Rain, which ended in a rain of fire.
On The Deluge Legends of America Donnelly quotes Lenormant on the Codex Vaticanus, whose picture of the water age shows Matlalcueye, the consort of Tlaloc, darting down toward the earth as the flood comes.
On Researches into the Lost Histories of America (1884) the notes from Brasseur de Bourbourg name Tlaloc as one of the divinities of the Quinames, the giants who held the region before the Olmecs.
For every page I tagged with Tlaloc, see the Tlaloc tag archive.
The picture represents Matlalcueye, goddess of waters, and consort of Tlaloc, god of rain, as darting down toward earth.
She was the wife of Tlaloc, the rain god, and played a crucial role in purifying the earth and preparing it for a new cycle of creation.
As Tlaloc's consort, Chalchiuhtlicue shared responsibilities over water and weather.
