Summary "Santarenaida: poema eroi-comico" by Francisco de Paula de Figueiredo is an epic poem written during the late 19th century. The work can be classified as a satirical poem that employs a comedic tone to explore themes of heroism, failure, and societal commentary, specifically focusing on the character of Joze Rodrigues Santareno, a famous tavern keeper whose life leads to unexpected consequences. The poem narrates the story of Santareno, who, attending a festive event, becomes metaphorically and literally entangled in a war between the realms of wine and water, represented by Bacchus (the god of wine) and Neptune (the god of the sea). The narrative unfolds through a series of comically exaggerated battles and farcical events, highlighting the absurdity of the characters caught in the struggle. Ultimately, Santareno's death results from an unforeseen twist involving water, which ironically serves as both a theme of his undoing and a commentary on indulgence. The poem is rich with allegorical references and vibrant imagery, making it both a humorous and critical examination of his life and the societal norms surrounding it.
