Os Eoas:
O gran poema épico escrito por Eduardo Pondal e xamáis publicado polas enormes dificultades que a ordenación e transcripción do orixinal suscitaba e que ata o rigoroso e esforzado traballo de Amado Ricón, parecía tarefa insuperable. A súa publicación foi considerada por algún intelectual como a máis importante noticia literaria galega do século.

Eduardo Pondal
16 books3 followersEduardo María González-Pondal Abente, nado en Ponteceso o 8 de febreiro de 1835 e finado na Coruña o 8 de marzo de 1917, foi un poeta rexionalista galego, en lingua galega e lingua castelá, autor da letra do Himno de Galicia. Foi un dos tres grandes poetas do Rexurdimento, xunto con Rosalía de Castro e Manuel Curros Enríquez. En 1965 dedicóuselle o Día das Letras Galegas.
Eduardo María González-Pondal Abente (February 8, 1835 – March 8, 1917) was a Galician (Spain) poet, who wrote in both Galician and Spanish.
Of Hidalgo origin, Pondal was the youngest of a family of seven. From 1884 onwards he studied Latin in a school in Vilela de Nemiña which belonged to his cleric relative, Cristobal Lago. In 1848, he moved to Santiago de Compostela to study Philosophy and, afterwards, Medicine at University.
As a student, he was a regular at Liceo de Santo Agostiño, a place where literary debates took place. There, he was discovered as a poet during the banquet of Conxo. It was a banquet organized by liberal students in 1856 to honor "the third state", and where students rubbed shoulders with laborers. The toasts are retrospectively considered to have an important political meaning.
In 1860, Pondal completed his studies and began working as a doctor for the Spanish Army at Ferrol. He also published A Campana de Anllóns, his first poem in the Galician language.
In 1861, he opted for an official job working for the Crown. He got the job in Asturias, but he left it, and his career as a doctor.
