History
Tlalixtac, historically also referred to as Taliztaca or Tlaliztacan, was a prehispanic Zapotec settlement. It was home to an idol of Coquihuani, the god of light, to whom were offered quail and parrot feathers, dogs, blood, and human sacrifices of boys and men, accompanied by music, dancing, and consumption of pulque. Tlalixtac was a subject town of Zaachila, to which it paid tribute of feathers and mantles. It also served alongside its overlord in wars.
