New authors, new novels and new thoughts can make the novels of the nineteenth century seem outdated. However, when we speak of myth, we understand that this is completely timeless, present since the beginning of time, the Universe's creation to the present time. This research aims to contribute to the various ways that the study of the myth may have for the various ways the hero can be represented and what is its connection with the reader of this work. In our research, we understand the importance of Eurico, o presbítero of Alexandre Herculano in modernity and which paths led the author to write a book to tell the struggle of a people for freedom of their nation. For this, we seek historical sources of the creator of the novel in his own Booklets and his History of Portugal. Our methodology was based on critical works. We began our work with the context of the historical moment in which the novel was created, which are the social, political and economic (Saraiva and Lopes, Arnold Hauser); the historical moment in which the novel is narrated (Jacques Le Goff, Andrew Perry and Edward Gibbon); in the study of Romanticism (José Augusto França, Alberto Ferreira) and for the study of myth, we first made its context, then analyzed the symbols present in the work and their meanings, the characteristics of the hero, his journey, threshold and return (Joseph Campbell and Mircea Eliade). We therefore defend that the author in addition to write a story that was the first in its style of Romanticism in Portugal also aimed to not only be a guardian of memory, but also to encourage the creation of a new Portuguese identity.
