لويس فاز دي كاميوس
اعظم شاعر برتغالي
Luís Vaz de
Camões
(Portuguese pronunciation:
[lu
ˈi
ʃ
va
ʃ
d
ɨ
ka
ˈmõȷ̃
ʃ
]
; sometimes rendered in
English
as Camoens; c. 1524 – June 10, 1580) is considered
Portugal
's, and the Portuguese language's greatest
poet
. 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.
Many details concerning the life of Camões remain unknown, but he is thought to have been born around 1524. Luís Vaz de Camões was the only child of
Simão Vaz de Camões
and wife Ana de Sá de Macedo
[1]
. His birthplace is unknown.
Lisbon
,
Coimbra
or
Alenquer
are frequently presented as his birthplace, although the latter is based on a disputable interpretation of one of his poems.
Camões belongs to a family originating from the northern Portuguese region of
Chaves
near
Galicia
.
At an early age, his father Simão Vaz left his family to discover personal riches in
India
, only to die in
Goa
in the following years. His mother later re-married.
Camões lived a semi-privileged life and was educated by
Dominicans
and
Jesuits
. For a period, due to his familial relations he attended the
University of Coimbra
, although records do not show him registered (he participated in courses in the Humanities). His uncle, Bento de Camões, is credited with this education, owing to his position as Prior at the
Monastery of Santa Cruz
and Chancellor at the University of Coimbra. He frequently had access to exclusive literature, including classical Greek, Roman and Latin works, read Latin, Italian and wrote in Spanish.
Camões, as his love poetry can attest, was a romantic and idealist. It was rumored that he fell in love with Catherine of Ataíde, lady-in-waiting to the Queen, and also the Princess Maria, sister of
John III of Portugal
. It is also likely that an indiscreet allusion to the king in his play
El-Rei Seleuco
, as well as these other incidents may have played a part in his exile from Lisbon in 1548. He traveled to the
Ribatejo
where he stayed in the company of friends who sheltered and fed him. He stayed in the province for about six months.
He enlisted in the overseas militia, and traveled to
Ceuta
in the fall of 1549. During a battle with the
Moors
, he lost the sight in his right eye. He eventually returned to Lisbon in 1551, a changed man, living a bohemian lifestyle. In 1552, during the religious festival of
Corpus Christi
, in the
Largo do Rossio
, he injured Gonçalo Borges, a member of the Royal Stables. Camões was imprisoned. His mother pleaded for his release, visiting royal ministers and the Borges family for a pardon. Released, Camões was ordered to pay 4,000 réis and serve three-years in the militia in the Orient.
He departed in 1553 for Goa on board the
São Bento
, commanded by
Fernão Alves Cabral
. The ship arrived six months later. In Goa, Camões was imprisoned for debt. He found Goa "a stepmother to all honest men" but he studied local customs and mastered the local geography and history. On his first expedition, he joined a battle along the
Malabar Coast
. The battle was followed by skirmishes along the trading routes between
Egypt
and India. The fleet eventually returned to Goa by November 1554. During his time ashore, he continued his writing publicly, as well as writing correspondence for the uneducated men of the fleet.
At the end of his obligatory service, he was given the position of chief warrant officer in
Macau
. He was charged with managing the properties of missing and deceased soldiers in the Orient. During this time he worked on his epic poem
Os Lusíadas
("The Lusiads") in a grotto. He was later accused of misappropriations and traveled to Goa to respond to the accusations of the tribunal. During his return journey, near the
Mekong River
along the
Cambodian
coast, he was shipwrecked, saving his manuscript but losing his Chinese lover. His shipwreck survival in the Mekong Delta was enhanced by the legendary detail that he succeeded in swimming ashore while holding aloft the manuscript of his still-unfinished epic.
In 1570 Camões finally made it back to Lisbon, where two years later he published
Os Lusíadas
. In recompense for his poem or perhaps for services in the Far East, he was granted a small royal pension by the young and ill-fated
Sebastian of Portugal
(ruled 1557–1578).
In 1578 he heard of the appalling defeat of the
Battle of Ksar El Kebir
, where King Sebastian was killed and the Portuguese army destroyed. The Spanish troops were approaching Lisbon

when Camões wrote to the Captain General of Lamego: "All will see that so dear to me was my country that I was content to die not only in it but with it". Camões died in Lisbon in 1580, at the age of 56. The day of his death, 10 June, is Portugal's
national day
. He is buried near
Vasco da Gama
in the
Jerónimos Monastery
in the Belém district of Lisbon
