Os Lusiadas is a Portuguese epic poem by Luis Vaz de Camoes. It is
written in Homeric fashion and focuses mainly on a fantastical
interpretation of the Portuguese voyages of discovery during the
15th and 16th centuries. Os Lusiadas is often regarded as
Portugal's national epic, much in the way as Virgil's Aeneid was
for the Ancient Romans, as well as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey for
the Ancient Greeks. It was first printed in 1572, three years after
the author returned from the Indies. The poem consists of ten
cantos written in the decasyllabic ottava rima with the most
important part, the arrival in India, at the beginning of Canto
VII.
