[[Footnote 58]: In the work of Ramirez de Fuen-leal (cap. viii), Tezcatlipoca is said to have been the discoverer of pulque, the intoxicating wine of the Maguey. In Meztitlan he was associated with the gods of this beverage and of drunkenness.

These names are interesting as illustrating the halo of symbolism which surrounded the history of the Light-God.]
