Chalchiuhtlicue vs Poseidon

Chalchiuhtlicue

Mesoamerican Pantheon

The Aztec goddess of flowing water, rivers, and lakes. Consort of Tlaloc, Chalchiuhtlicue presided over the Fourth Sun before its destruction by flood. She is the patron of newborns and purification.

Chalchiuhtlicue was among the primordial deities who participated in the creation. She became consort of Tlaloc and ruled over the Fourth Sun until its destruction.

Chalchiuhtlicue ("She of the Jade Skirt") is the Aztec goddess of **flowing water**: rivers, streams, lakes, and seas. While **Tlaloc** rules rain from the sky, Chalchiuhtlicue governs water upon the earth.

Poseidon

Greek Pantheon

God of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. Brother of Zeus and Hades, ruler of the oceans and all waters.

Poseidon rules the vast oceans, earthquakes ("Earth-Shaker"), and horses. He is a moody and tempestuous god, much like the sea itself. Sailors prayed to him for safe passage, often sacrificing horses or bulls to appease his wrath.
