:''This article is about the Aztec poet king. For the modern-day city in the state of México (state), see Nezahualcóyotl.'' Nezahualcoyotl (1402 – 1472) was Monarch of Texcoco (in modern Mexico), the Pre-Columbian state of Alcohuan, a Nahuatl-speaking people. In alliance with Tenochtitlan (modern Mexico City), his state became the second most important politically in the Aztec Empire. Nezahualcoyotl, son of Ixtlilxochitl and Matlalcihuatzin (daughter of Huitzilihuitl), was a noted poet, philosopher, and patron of the arts. He designed a code of law based on the division of power, which created the councils of finance, war, justice and culture (called the council of music). He was also skilled in engineering and practical arts, and said to have personally designed the dike across Lake Texcoco named after him that was still in use over a century after his death. He also built a botanical and zoological garden. The poem that begins like this is widely attributed to him: :"All the earth is a grave and nothing escapes it" But is almost certainly not by him as it contains ideas and language that were totally alien to him. His authentic poems include: *In chololiztli (Song of Flight) *Ma zan moquetzacan (My Friends Stand Up!) *Nitlayocoya (I Am Sad) *Xopan cuicatl (Song of Springtime) *Ye nonnocuiltonohua (I Am Wealthy) *Zan yehuan (He Alone) *Xon Ahuiyacan (Be Joyful) The date of Nezahualcoyotl's death is recorded as being June 4, 1472. Nezahualcoyotl was succeeded by his son Nezahualpilli. His great-grandson Juan Bautista de Pomar is credited with the compilations of a collection of Nahuatl poems. ''Romances de los señores de la Nueva España,'' and with a chronicle of the history of the Aztecs. Nezahualcoyotl appears on the current one-hundred Mexican peso banknote. ==References== *''Fifteen Poets of the Aztec World'' by Leon Portilla, Univ of Oklahoma Press; (October 2000).

Nezahualcóyotl (also: Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl or Ciudad Neza, which is strictly the name of the municipal seat; informally: mi Nezota) is a municipality of the Mexico (state) adjacent to the eastern fringe of Mexico's Mexican Federal District: it is thus part of the Mexico City. With a population of 1,255,000 in 2000, it is a sprawling, dusty expanse of low-income housing. It was named after Nezahualcoyotl, the Aztec poet and king of nearby Texcoco, and was built on the drained bed of Lake Texcoco. The name is Nahuatl and means "fasting coyote". ==External links (in Spanish)== *[http://www.neza.gob.mx/ Municipio de Nezahualcóyotl (municipal)] *[http://www.edomexico.gob.mx/newweb/Gobierno%20en%20internet/PAGMUN/Mun_Neza.asp Municipio de Nezahualcóyotl (state)] *[http://www.e-local.gob.mx/work/templates/enciclo/mexico/mpios/15058a.htm Enciclopedia de los Municipios de México: Nezahualcóyotl] Cities in México State
The article for Nezahualcoyotl, which is the same name, is about the pre-conquest monarch of that name. The division shouldn't be made in that way. User:John Kenney User_talk:John Kenney 14:44, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC) To some, the names mi Nezota and Neza York are offensive.
