Abstract(s)
O 1.º de Dezembro de 1640 viu nascer não só uma nova dinastia em Portugal mas também todo um manancial literário de apoio à nova monarquia portuguesa. Ao longo das três décadas de guerra que passaram desde a revolução até à Paz de Lisboa produziram-se em Portugal inúmeros documentos para consumo interno e externo: tratados jurídicos, relações de batalhas, gazetas, memoriais, mas também sermões e panegíricos, sempre com o objetivo de justificar jurídica e politicamente a restauração da monarquia portuguesa, mas também louvar o novo rei e seus descendentes. O nosso estudo foca um tipo particular de louvor e justificação: por um lado os tópicos panegíricos da emulação por parte de D. João IV dos heróis homéricos, concretamente de Aquiles; por outro lado a justificação da antiguidade do reino de Portugal,
fundação e descendência dos mesmos heróis homéricos.
The Portuguese revolution of December 1640 saw the birth not only of a new dynasty in Portugal but also of a whole literary source of support for the new Portuguese monarchy. Over the three decades of war that passed from the revolution to the Peace of Lisbon, numerous documents were produced in Portugal for internal and external consumption: legal treaties, battle reports, gazettes, memorials, but also sermons and panegyrics, always with the objective of juridically and politically justifying the restoration of the Portuguese monarchy, but also praising the new king and his descendants. This paper focuses on a particular type of praise and justification: on the one hand, the panegyric topics of emulation by King John IV of the Homeric heroes, specifically of Achilles; on the other hand, the justification of the antiquity of the kingdom of Portugal, foundation and descendants of the same Homeric heroes.
