Nahua literature

Nahua literature encompasses the rich oral and written traditions of the Nahua people, primarily from central Mexico, including the Aztecs. It features poetry, myths, historical accounts, and religious texts that express their worldview, beliefs, and history. Much of this literature was originally passed down orally and later transcribed after Spanish contact. It offers valuable insights into Nahua culture, spirituality, and social values, blending myth with history. Today, Nahua literature is studied for its historical significance and cultural identity, reflecting a sophisticated literary tradition that continues to influence Mexican and indigenous narratives.
