There are numerous myths from the ancient Americas, which link maize to the birth and death of man. Writings from the Popol Vuh, the holy book of the Quiche Maya people, describe how the gods created man from maize after several unsatisfactory attempts at making humans from earth, clay and wood.
In ancient Mexican mythology, maize is a male god, named Cinteotl, born of the young Sun god and Moon-goddess.
From his hair came cotton; from his eyes, favored edible plants; from his nose, chia (a plant used for a refreshing drink); from his fingers, the sweet potato (Ipomoea batata); from his nails, a larger form of maize; from his other body parts, many kinds of fruit the people collected and cultivated.

 Strange Horizons Reviews: Circus of the Grand Design by Robert Freeman Wexler, reviewed by Niall Harrison
Unwilling to report the incident, he finds himself hooking up with the enigmatic Joseph Dillon and his itinerant Circus of the Grand Design, partly to evade justice, partly because he finds circuses conveniently fascinating, and partly because it seems like his best shot at adventure.
The Circus are a raggedy bunch, from the philosophical, lecherous juggler Garson Gold, to Bodyssia the giantess (and her performing capybaras), to Dawn and Leonara the elephant riders, to Cinteotl the chef and his exotic cuisine.
Lewis has an excuse to meet and interview each of them in turn, and to tour the private train they call home, in the course of preparing biographical notes and other publicity material for the Circus's next tour.
