  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Luis Vaz de Camoes
The most sublime figure in the history of Portuguese literature, Camões owes his lasting fame to his epic poem "Os Lusiadas," (The Lusiads); he is remarkable also for the degree of art attained in his lyrics, less noteworthy for his dramas.
His last gloomy years were spent near his aged mother, and he died, heart-broken at the misfortune that had come to his beloved land with the great disaster of Alcacer-Kebir, where Sebastian and the flower of the Portuguese nobility went to their doom.
His purpose was a serious one; he desired to abide by the sober reality of his country's history, which, in poetic speech, is related in a long series of stanzas by Vasco da Gama himself.

 Renaissance Quarterly: Moving the Monarch. The Rhetoric of Persuasion in Camoes's Lusiadas.@ HighBeam Research
Like many other medieval and Renaissance works, the Lusiadas by Luis de Camoes can he profitably interpreted as a work of rhetorical persuasion.
Although rhetoric was a primary feature of the educational curriculum of the time, this line of reasoning has been missing from the critical studies of the poem, most of which are committed instead to historical, biographical, and ideological approaches.
In each narrative surface of the Lusiadas, a royal audience is cajoled, admonished, guided, or taught by an eloquent petitioner who may lack the credentials of power but manifestly...

Se cree que por entonces ya había empezado a trabajar en Os Lusiadas, pero en cualquier caso el argumento central del poema es el descubrimiento de la ruta marítima a la India por el explorador portugués Vasco da Gama.
Os Lusiadas, escrito en diez cantos en octava rima, se inspira tanto en la Eneida, el poema épico de Virgilio, como en Orlando furioso, del poeta italiano Ludovico Ariosto.
Aunque la obra ensalza las hazañas de los hijos de Lusus esto es, los lusiadas, o portugueses, también refleja la amargura con respecto a los aspectos más crueles del colonialismo portugués.

 JOSE AGOSTINHO DE MACEDO - LoveToKnow Article on JOSE AGOSTINHO DE MACEDO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
His colossal egotism made him attempt to supersede Camoens as Portugals greatest poet, and in 1814 he produced Oriente, an insipid epic notwithstanding its correct and vigorous verse,dealing with the same subject as the LusiadsGamas discovery of the sea route to India.
This amended paraphrase met with acold reception, whereupon Macedo published his Censura dos Lusiadas, containing a minute examination and virulent indict- ment of Camoens.
Macedo founded and wrote for a large numberof journals, and the tone and temper of these and his politicalpamphlets induced his leading biographer to name him the chieflibeller of Portugal, though at the time his jocular and satiricalstyle gained him popular favor.

The Poetics of Empire in the Indies: Prophecy and Imitation in La Araucana and OS Lusiadas - James Nicolopulos
Delving into the epic traditions of the Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance periods, Nicolopulos outlines practices of imitation within the two poems, focusing specifically on La Araucana's employment of epic models.
Having made powerful connections to Ercilla's literary and critical predecessors, Nicolopulos demonstrates that the contemporaneous publication of Os Lusiadas further affected the content and presentation of La Araucana.

Os Lusiadas has been hailed throughout Europe, sometimes to the detriment of Portugal's other literature, as Portugal's one masterpiece.
Under Antonio Salazar, Prime Minister of Portugal in the 1930s, Os Lusiadas became an icon of Portuguese nationalism, and is said to be rightfully renowned as a classic of world literature.
Returning to Lisbon, Camoes was involved in a skirmish that wounded a magistrate, ended up in prison, and was banished again to Goa in India in 1553.

 Vasco da Gama washes up in modern-day Portugal / 16th century explorers struggle to make it as a nation's colonial ...
Also beamed into a modern setting is the 16th century Portuguese poet Luis Vaz da Camoes, author of "Os Lusiadas," the remarkable epic poem whose narrating protagonist is none other than Vasco da Gama.
Antunes' most graceful portrait in this extraordinary tale is of a woman who goes nameless, a kind of Molly Bloom figure, the wife of a former colonial water inspector who also happens to be one Diogo Cao, a former 16th century admiral of a rakish corsair and a crony of da Gama's.
In Antunes' somewhat hopeless view, the human impulse to conquer and create is both scathingly cruel and imbecilicly divine, and historic self-deceptions loop in upon themselves, somewhat sardonically, to be repeated time and again.
