Alonso de Ercilla y Zúñiga, commonly known as Alonso de Ercilla was a Spanish nobleman, soldier and epic poet, born in Madrid. While in Chile (1556–1563) he fought against the Araucanians (Mapuche), and there he began the epic poem La Araucana, considered one of the greatest Spanish historical poems. This heroic work in 37 cantos is divided into three parts, published in 1569, 1578, and 1589. It tells of the courageous insurrection of the Araucanians and also relates the history of Chile and of contemporary Spain.

Quotes by Alonso de Ercilla (?)

“Fue Lautaro industrioso, sabio, presto,
de gran consejo, término y cordura,
manso de condición, y hermoso gesto,
ni grande, ni pequeño de estatura;
el ánimo en las cosas grandes puesto,
de fuerte trabazón y compostura,
duros los miembros, recios y nerviosos,
anchas espaldas, pechos espaciosos.”
― Alonso de Ercilla, La Araucana, prólogo por Bernardo Subercaseaux
