It’s June 10th! So here is Port reading the Lusiads, which is basically a fanciful retelling of the first sea voyage to India with roman mythology in the mix, with Venus being the protector of the Portuguese and Bacchus trying to foil them.

And yes, I realise I clearly like water and history coming out of books lol

#my art #aph portugal #hws portugal #broooo my headache is killing meeee #trevo said Port is looking at the naked lady and YEAH OK IT WASN'T INTENTIONAL but Venus was there for him ok she deserves the attention #i wanted to add more but you know....you know #so we have the two gods and viri4thus and ter3sa and h3nry and afons0 h3nriques #and then the story of eg4s mon1z o aio and ofc p3dro and in3s #4damastor is obligatory and m4griço and his buddies #and the island of loves which is just so funny. trust c4mões to reward his sailors by getting them laid in an island full of nymphs #'god would approve of this' and it did the inquisition approved it good for him #and a lil c4mões up there cos according to legend he saved the manuscript of the poem after a shipwreck #by holding it up while swimming with one arm #anyway i love c4mões and i love that he bitches about getting no respect in this...the national epic. love it #as you can see i prefer to focus on the literary side of today hehehee
