Poetry
Poetry
He is, however, known chiefly for his epic poem Ulisseia ou Lisboa Edificada (Ulysses or Lisbon Built). It consists of ten books and is written in ottava rima, a rhyming stanza form of Italian origin. Its form is typical for Renaissance epic poems. The poem imitates The Lusiads by Luís Vaz de Camões. It is about the founding of the town of Lisbon by Ulysses (Odysseus). Published posthumously in 1636 by the poet's brother, Luís Pereira de Castro, Ulisseia is considered to be one of the most significant Portuguese epic poems after Camões. Pereira de Castro also wrote poems in Latin and Spanish.
