Zacatzontli, inAztec mythology, is the god of the road during the day.
Zacatzontli has an eagle as a guide, a staff in his left hand, and a bag full ofquetzals in his right hand. He can be a protector of merchants, thus equating him with theMayan godEk Chuáj. Unusually, Zacatzontli does not have a headdress, only a feather.
His name could mean "Lord of the Road" or "His Road, The Lord", although the former seems more likely.[1]
