Which is the best National Epic/Epopey that isn't The Odyssey, The Illiad or The Aeneid?
Got myself thinking about it when considering reading The Lusiads

kek my portuguese jimmies are rustled. There is no 'Brazilian' language, Brazil's official language is Portuguese which in their case has some variations such as accent and specific idiomatic expressions.
In Portuguese 'Saudade(s)' means the emocional yearning for something which has gone absent and is causing sadness or pain. For instance the feeling one gets off a friend or a place one has not seen for a long time. You can yearn for something or someone you have never had or met before but you cannot say you feel 'saudades'. There is an obligatory condition of having had something that you don't anymore
