A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the life and legacy of Nezahualcoyotl, the philosopher-king of Texcoco in the 15th century. They explore his remarkable story: exiled as a youth after his father's murder, he outwitted usurpers and allied with Tenochtitlan to reclaim his throne. But Nezahualcoyotl was no ordinary ruler. He was a poet, engineer, and lawgiver who shaped the intellectual and cultural life of the Valley of Mexico. Lucas discusses his famous poems, his complex relationship with Aztec deities like Huitzilopochtli and Tezcatlipoca, and his construction of the aqueduct and gardens of Chapultepec. They also tackle the controversy over whether Nezahualcoyotl was a monotheist before the Spanish arrival, examining the primary sources and debates. This episode offers a fresh angle on pre-Columbian Mexico, focusing on a figure who personified the artistry and sophistication of Nahua civilization.
