Abstract

Luís de Camões wrote The Lusiad as an epic of the Lusitanian community, summarized in Vasco da Gama's voyage to the Indies. The book also constructs episodes that orbit different areas, such as the mythological sphere of the Latin gods, the historical sphere, recounting the achievements of the Portuguese kings, and the social sphere, in the critical speeches of the Old Man of Restelo or the final stanzas. In a dynamic and interactive reading strategy for this universe, an adaptation was made in the form of a boardgame, as an evocative link to reading this classic and a way to arousing the curiosity of potential new readers.
