    Annotation:

    This essay pretends to demonstrate how two epic poems, Lope de Vega's Dragontea (1598) and Miramontes' Armas antárticas (completed around 1609), compete in a verse dual about the collaboration between English privateers and the Panama Maroons and its dangers at the turn of the 16Th century. Despite offering different approaches on this matter, considering the place of enunciation and the direct or indirect knowledge of this colonial reality, both literary works include Maroons in the Christian European history and its continuity in colonial America. Therefore, the introduction in epic literature of the Maroons as a pressure group in the colonial space has per objective to present them as a new heroic obstacle that the power of the Spanish arms (Miramontes) or of the dominant's speech (Lope and Miramontes) achieves to vanquish and integrate.
