This city built by Greek hands comes to be Lisbon, the head of a great navy empire at the time of Portuguese Discoveries. This epic reshapes both the Odyssean sea voyages and Iliadic warfare, and Ulysses, the same crafty wanderer as the Homeric Odysseus, is also the bearer of a god-given mission like the Virgilian Aeneas. In this paper I examine the refashioning of the Homeric Διὸς ἀπάτη (‘Deception of Zeus’) in Ulisseia book 10 from a comparative and literary perspective. Castro follows his Greek model very closely but at the same time makes important deviations from it. He portrays the deceitful planning of Hera, with its erotic and humorous tone, and adapts it to the nationalistic purposes of his own epic story. Juno’s plan is granted a more serious tone, since its effects on the war between Greeks and Lusitanians are directly linked to the glorious Destiny of the Portuguese people.engUlisseiaGabriel Pereira de CastroReception studiesEpicDeception of Zeusjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1093/crj/clac0141759-51341759-5142
