Maya Mythology

The Maya Gods of Mesoamerica...

AH CILIZ

Maya Eclipse God

Slightly odd God of Eclipses

Although everyone knows that eclipses are caused by a supernatural being eating the sun, in Maya mythology there’s a twist.

Ah Ciliz is actually a servant of the Sun who waits upon him at table. Why he should occasionally take it upon himself to devour his master is unclear. Pay and conditions not good enough? They should try for arbitration.
