Entepica, whose name is also written Tapica, is recorded by the chronicler Antonio de Herrera as the principal lord and cacique of the Lenca province of Cerquín and of the town of Piraera in southwestern Honduras. Honduran historiography, following Herrera, credits him with commissioning the war captain Lempira to organize the confederated defense of the Peñol de Cerquín against the Spanish invasion of 1537, on account of Lempira's reputation for invincibility. He thus personifies the paramount chiefly authority of the pre-conquest Lenca of Cerquín, the same legendary province over which the Comizahual cycle is set; nothing further is recorded of his life or death.
