Tenoch

TENOCH, or TENOX (ten-oss'), Aztec priest, lived in the 14th century. When the Aztecs settled in Chapultepec and were subdued by the king of Culhuacan, Tenoch was the high-priest of his nation. Later the Culhuas were defeated in a war with their neighbors of Xochimilco and solicited the aid of their slaves, the Mexicans. By the advice of Tenoch the Mexicans consented, and under the former's leadership showed themselves so brave that the Culhuas, partly from gratitude, partly from fear, gave them freedom. Looking for a safe place of retreat until the nation should become stronger, Tenoch led them to a small island in the lake of Texcoco, where, according to his prediction, they found an eagle on a nopal-tree devouring a snake. There they laid in 1327, or, according to others, in 1325, the foundation of a city called Tenochtithm, and Tenoch built a hut as a temple for their god Huitzilopochtli, dedicating it by the sacrifice of some Cullma prisoners.
