This work proposes a study of the sebastianist legend as mythical matter in Romance d A pedra do Reino (RPR). We assume, supported by Northrop Frye, Carl Jung, Mircea Eliade, Joseph Campbell and Gilbert Durand the perspective in which the myth remains but restore itself infinitely by images and archetypical symbolism. First, we reach to rebuild the conforming cultural essence of the fictional s sebastianist legends of Portugal and Brasil identifying its archetypical components. Thus, we look for sebastianist messianic references, for its thesis and discourse, in the plurilinguistic design of RPR, considering its relevance in the mythical discourse s configuration of the narrative. We notice a forceful tension between apocalyptical and demoniac images, resulting from narrator-protagonist idealistic view and his involvement in realistic world incongruence, pointing myth s dislocations and ironic manner predominance in the narrative. Besides the external and unconcluded character s contest, connected to the judicial process and to the production of his Obra de Gênio da Raça (Genius Lineage/Race Work), foundation stone to his sebastianist messianic kingdom of the Fifth Empire, we distinguish some inner demand linked to his way to maturity which doesn t consolidate effectively. The character s project and their temporary dismissal state plus his expectation of its accomplishment in a not far future constitutes the most important sebastianist messianic bias in the production, strengthened by other thematic recurrences in the Pedra Bonita s sebastianist legend, and make possible still the establishment of a more fertile analogy to the Portuguese manifestation. These different fronts of myth s restoration grant universality and absence of temporality to RPR.
