Perhaps we believe they don’t exist because they are mostly absent in non-academic or informal conversations ending up falling into a vicious cycle of ignorance and, to some extent, as messengers of these almost preconceived notions. The present document will counter this ideology because these religions do in fact exist. The motivations may suggest to the eyes of some readers a nationalist perspective. However, this is not a national topic at all, apart from the language in which it is written, and as a restrictive perimeter for what is explored. This is a study of a subject that is obscure to the common public and serves as a context for a collection of seven illustrations of indigenous deities found in Portugal. Taking advantage of the potential that art has always been associated with, especially to man's beliefs, a relationship as old as himself. Enjoying the virtues that only a stagnant theme of artistic interpretation can provide, by demythologising the valuable cultural heritage of those who once trod the same ground as we do.porMitologiaDesenhoLusitâniaPenínsula IbéricaPaganismoCultoArtes bélicasCultura celtaPanteãoIconografiamaster thesis203221630
