Cortes

…

…epic poetry. He describes the life (briefly) and exploits (mainly) of Hernan Cortes in New Spain from his own biased point of view as a secular priest who views history as a unitizing struggle for universal Christianity, which may serve to veil baser motives. It is my opinion that texts such as his, while they provide an accurate representation of his own culture, work to undermine and discredit the other cultures portrayed in the text.
