Luís Vaz de Camões, (1524 - 1580) His mastery of verse has been compared
to that of Shakespeare, Vondel, Homer, Virgil and Dante. He wrote a
considerable amount of lyrical poetry and drama but is best remembered
for his epic work Os Lusíadas (The Lusiads). His recollection of poetry
The Parnasum of Luís de Camões was lost in his lifetime. The influence
of his masterpiece "Os Lusíadas" in Portuguese is so profound that it is
called the "language of Camões".
