Aztec Literature
Aztec Literature refers to the body of written works produced by the Aztec civilization, primarily in the Nahuatl language. This literature includes a variety of genres such as poetry, historical accounts, and religious texts. The Aztecs used pictorial manuscripts and codices to preserve their stories, myths, and traditions, often blending oral and written forms.
One of the most notable works is the Codex Mendoza, which documents the history and culture of the Aztecs. Additionally, poetry played a significant role in Aztec society, with themes often centered around nature, love, and the divine. These literary forms provide valuable insights into the beliefs and values of the Aztec people.
