Known as the "Spanish Homer," Luis de Góngora y Argote (1561-1627) is widely considered to be Spain's greatest poet. He was both praised and vilified during his lifetime, but his reputation waned in the years after his death; in the 1920's, he was championed by the Modernists, including Federico García Lorca, and influential critics of Spanish literature, including Dámaso Alonso. Famous for intricate metaphors in baroque style and syntax, Góngora has even been immortalized as a literary term: a "gongorism" connotes an involved Latinate style. Yet despite his influence and reputation
