June 10: National holiday of Portugal observed: Camões (pictured), who wrote the national epic The Lusiads, dies in 1580. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Didn't Camoes have some connection with Goa? Dr Olivinho Gomes had some interesting views about the possibility of The Lusiads having been partly written here, or influenced by his stay in Goa (if I recall right).
