Original Title:  Apu Ollantay
 

Year: sec. XVIII
 
Description Apu Ollantay is a drama in three acts dating, according to some scholars, to pre-Columbian times and therefore belonging to the Quechua oral tradition.
It tells the story of the love between Ollanta (general of the army of the Inca) and Cusi Quyllur (the Inca's daughter), hampered by the Inca himself.
The drama is set in the imperial palace at the time of the Inca Pachacutec, but the first transcription dates back to the eighteenth century.

Description Short story in Quechua language similar to "Isicha Puytu" or "Manchay Puytu" (trans. the amphora of terror). Records of this legend dates back to XVIII century and it's still not clear if it has a colonial or pre-colonial origin. A great deal of South American authors (from Peru, Bolivia and Argentina) based their short stories on the same legend.
In addition to the link, I invite you to read the essay by M. Cornejo D. on "Manchay Puytu".

Surprisingly, during the funeral ceremonies, they used to play some kind of long flutes immersed in bottles, maybe an evidence of the age of the legend.
