Abstract

Os Lusíadas in its Chant VI presents some of the central issues of the poem. One of them relates to a series of developments that advertise themselves, in that point on the narrative to explode in future moments, from dicho­tomies that oppose, apparently, pleasure with food vs. sacrificial value, for instance. The delicacies and banquets are points of departure and arrival for much of this discussion, that envolves Veloso, Venus, Bacchus, wine, love and so on.
