Throughout history, a few talented souls were able to convert important events into epic poetry. We have Iliad, Odyssey, Gilgamesh’s epic and now Aztec Robsodes.
The fall of the Mexica Empire, the theme of the Robsodi, as it is seen by the Mexican eyes, is a strange story than the Troy fall.
As the legend goes to the legend, a few unknown Spaniaries who do not know the local language are one of the world’s best organized cities-a city protected by the worst soldiers of the United States and its leader. That is, in fact, the story that needs to be told.
The story is mentioned in more than 100 illustrations in the verse over 132 pages, mainly from the symbols of the 16th century. In 2024 “the song of the” Aztec Robsodes, Flower and Mexican Success “was released. It is now available in Amazon in print and Kindle format. Yes, it is in English!
The author of this very extraordinary creation is a small museum of Jalisco, who is halfway between Quadalajara and the Pacific coast, Cereal de La Asunsian Michael Bodila.
The well -deserved book of Michael’s 48 Robsodi begins in 1519 from the Spanish landing in Quitlasstlan (today’s Varakrus). The book begins with these lines:
In the house of the flowers, the music,
Mixcotle’s blossom mansion,
Where are the anthems of the war,
Here is woven in words, reading here,
How much threatened in Kuttloxstlon,
Castilian men who continue from east,
On the coastal managing the beach by Binotacle,
Near the limits of divine water,
The directional door, the threshold of twisted waves.
The following chapters, Moptezuma’s reaction to the existence of the Castilian men, he greeted them to his palace, fearing that they were God – and the failed – and they were God.
We learn how the Spaniards joined themselves with the many tribes who hated the Aztec, and the fierce wars of the disease… and the Spaniards captured Mostsuma with weapons and forced them to show them the national treasure repository.
The Aztec descriptions of the guns and cannon and their impact on moptezuma are especially interested in:
Specially it made it faint
When asked how the guns were out of the shot,
How it is rise, thunder, terrifying.
Fear, disturbing, ears exploded,
When the Spaniards appointed the fire of the shot.
From the inside, a rock out, a round pebble,
It went with the brightness, and the fire was raining.
The smoke from it was Fedit, the wrong.
When it went into the brain, the head was injured.
When it hit a mountain, it made a hole.
It was like the mountain was demolished.
When the shot reached a tree, it became a slipper.
This is something amazing and stunning.
It was as if someone had exploded.
I asked the writer Gabriel Michael, who encouraged him to write an epic poem in Spain’s success.
“Many years ago, I was a seminar. In my study of Greece, I came upon Virgil’s Einaid, telling the story of the Fall of Troy and the foundation of the Roman Empire. At the age of 13, I told you what to do. I have to use this to my own country.”
At the time, Michael began his life -long study of Spanish victory, and Bernel Dias de Castilo’s “real history of New Spain” began.
Michael said, “I explored the writings of the winners. I was really surprised to see what I saw.”
Michael first wrote his own version of his own concrete in prose, and then re -wrote it in the verse, inspired, by the writings of St. John’s crucifixion, and he considered the greatest poet of Spanish literature.
Historian Miguel Leone-Portila’s “The Broken Spears: The Aztec Account Called Mexico” (2006) by reading the chapters of the book simultaneously, can collect more from “Ostech Robsodles”. Both books tell the same story, but in a very different way.
Like all epic poems, “Aztec Robsodies” should be read aloud. Try!
