The Lusiads was published in 1572, during the Portuguese Renaissance. The poem consists of 1,102 stanzas of eight lines each, a total of 8,816 lines. Structured into ten cantos, each composed in ottava rima, The Lusiads recounts the voyages of the Portuguese “through seas never before sailed.” The narrative gains its epic character through the interweaving of historical and mythological episodes in the lives of its heroes.
Although Camões wrote The Lusiads to glorify the history and achievements of the Portuguese people, the themes and contexts it raises also resonate with the rich histories and traditions of other nations, including the Armenians.
The masterpiece contains direct references to Armenians and Armenian kingdoms.
The work has been translated into Armenian for the first time and has been published within the Translation Series of the Portugal–Armenia Friendship Union.
