In Elegies of Illustrious Men of the Indies there are twenty-two inscriptions written in Latin of doubtful authorship, some may be by Castellanos himself or by others transmitted by him. Castellanos presents a written transmission of these short epigrams, originally inscribed both on hard support -slabs- and on organic support -tree bark-, which are intended to make the memory of brave men and women who died a tragic death endure. This article proposes an approach to the epigrams of the Elegies of Illustrious Men of the Indies by Juan de Castellanos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explores the intertextual relation between Juan de Castellanos' Elegías... and Alonso de Ercilla's La Araucana, arguing that every time Castellanos refers to Ercilla's text he does so with an iconoclastic impulse that leads him to either transform or reject the model. In this sense, the reference that presumably explains why Castellanos preferred the epic to historiography does not prove that he indeed "imitated" Ercilla, but rather reveals a crisis in the poetic practice of imitatio triggered by the debates surrounding the conquest and colonization of the New World.
