Camões, Dinamene, survival, classic, celebrationAbstract
In society and in school, the Camões’ Rhymes continue to interest new readers and propose new challenges. To understand Camões is not simply to know that he existed, to learn that he has an exceptional value in the canon of Portuguese literature and to accentuate his symbolic value. To know Camões one needs, above all, to read his poems and to accept the challenge they present. Through the example of Dinamene, this text emphasizes the interlinkage between the celebration and the study of Camões, which is resposable for the popularity of the classical poet across time.
