Abstract

This study tries to make an analysis of two expressive works of brazilian literature: O Guarani (1857) and Os Sertões (1902) under the perspective of the epic myth. These works appeared in strategical periods of brazilian literature and life. The first by promoting a unification of the ideals of nationality rise (euphoric sense), typical from the Romantism: the second, by operating the acquisition of consciouness on the impasses the brazilian society lived  at that time (disphoric sense), a phrase represented by the literature of Pre-Modernism. Even though they are diametrically oposed, both are integrated in the mimetic-rhetoric tradition accomplished byt the epic genre.
