Luís Vaz de Camões (c. 1524 – June 10, 1580) Camões is regarded as Portugal's greatest poet. His mastery of verse has been compared to that of Homer, Virgil, and Dante. Poet and great Epic, he wrote a considerable amount of lyrical poetry (in Portuguese and in Spanish) and drama but is best remembered for his epic work Os Lusíadas. His philosophical work The Parnasum of Luís Vaz was lost, stolen with part of Os Lusíadas by envious enemies while he was staying at Mozambique and is lost forever.
Rather like Jimmy Hendrix and Duane Allman he is famous as much for what is lost as what exists, a medieval James Dean of poetry.
