Even in the modern Portuguese army, is he honored as a hero?
Is Viriatus regarded as a national hero in Portugal nowadays?

Re: Is Viriatus regarded as a national hero in Portugal nowadays?
Seems rather silly if he is seeing as modern Portugal has pretty much no link to to the man. Seems like mythologizing that probably was created during the Estado Novo.Originally Posted by twgamer20197

IN PATROCINIVM SVB Dromikaites
'One day when I fly with my hands - up down the sky, like a bird'
But if the cause be not good, the king himself hath a heavy reckoning to make, when all those legs and arms and heads, chopped off in battle, shall join together at the latter day and cry all 'We died at such a place; some swearing, some crying for surgeon, some upon their wives left poor behind them, some upon the debts they owe, some upon their children rawly left.
Hyperides of Athens: We know, replied he, that Antipater is good, but we (the Demos of Athens) have no need of a master at present, even a good one.
