Na presente dissertação, analisa-se a figura histórico-literária de Viriato (que
viveu no tempo das guerras lusitanas, no século II a. C.), a partir da perspetiva de dois
consagrados escritores do panorama literário português: Agustina Bessa-Luís e João
Aguiar.
Em Fama e Segredo na História de Portugal (2006), Bessa-Luís relata as vidas
de personalidades importantes da História de Portugal, começando com Viriato e
terminando com Salazar. No primeiro capítulo (“Ópera I: Viriato”), a escritora invoca a
memória do avô, numa viagem a Zamora, para compor a biografia do herói lusitano,
selecionando e comentando alguns episódios relevantes, como as origens, o casamento,
a guerra contra os Romanos, o tratado de paz com Roma em 140 a. C., a morte e o
crime de Galba. A Voz dos Deuses (1984), de João Aguiar, é um romance histórico,
contado sob a forma de um relato de memórias. O autor do relato é uma personagem
fictícia, Tongio, um jovem que acompanha Viriato na luta contra os sucessivos generais
romanos, nos últimos anos antes da morte do líder, em 139 a. C.
Esta investigação analisa, assim, o modo como Bessa-Luís e Aguiar recriam a
biografia de Viriato e o contexto cultural em que viveu, articulando facto e ficção,
através de elementos da realidade histórica e outros de criação literária, reconhecendo
ambos a falibilidade da matéria de que se ocupam.
This dissertation examines the historical and literary figure of Viriathus (who lived during the Lusitanian Wars in the 2nd century BC) from the perspective of two renowned authors in Portuguese literature: Agustina Bessa-Luís and João Aguiar. In Fama e Segredo na História de Portugal (2006), Bessa-Luís recounts the lives of notable figures in Portuguese history, beginning with Viriathus and ending with Salazar. In the opening chapter (“Ópera I: Viriato”), the author evokes the memory of her grandfather, during a trip to Zamora, to compose the biography of the Lusitanian hero, selecting and commenting on relevant episodes such as his origins, marriage, war against the Romans, the peace treaty with Rome in 140 BC, his death, and the crime of Galba. A Voz dos Deuses (1984), by João Aguiar, is a historical novel narrated in the form of memoirs. The narrator is a fictional character, Tongio, a young man who accompanies Viriathus in the fight against successive Roman generals during the final years before the leader‟s death in 139 BC. This study therefore explores how Bessa-Luís and Aguiar reconstruct Viriathus‟ biography and the cultural context in which he lived, weaving together fact and fiction through both historical reality and literary invention, while acknowledging the inherent fallibility of their subject matter.
