Luia de Camoëns, the author of the Lusiad, was born at Lisbon about A.D. His misfortunes began with his birth—he never saw a father's smile—for Simon Vasco de Camoëns perished by shipwreck in the very year which gave being to his illustrious son. The future poet was sent to the university of Coimbra—then at the height of its fame,—"and maintained there by the provident care of his surviving parent.". Camões began writing his epic masterpiece The Lusiads while stationed in Macau. The ten cantos of The Lusiads are an inventive chronicle of Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama’s discovery of a sea route to India via the Cape of Good Hope. Camões rhetorically places the Portuguese voyage within the larger epic tradition of classics like the Aeneid and the Iliad. The Lusiads is the Portuguese national epic, and its author, Luís Vaz de Camões, is a national hero throughout Portugal. When you travel in Portugal and see a painting or statue of a man in medieval armor with one eye closed, you can pretty much count on it being a painting or statue of Camões, who lost an eye as a Portuguese soldier.
