Answer:

The Aeneid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Portuguese epic poem was first published in 1572 and is regarded as the most important work of Portuguese literature. It is frequently compared with Virgil´s Aeneid. It celebrates the discovery of the sea route to India by the explorer Vasco Da Gama.

The Aeneid tells the story of Aeneas a Trojan who traveled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans. It is one of the greatest works of Latin literature.
