    Annotation:

    This article analyses the way in which historiographical studies built the image of Ferdinand Magellan as hero and how his myth was created over the years. Once the historical person is heroized he creates his own myth that contains, in many cases, truths which cannot be verified as historical. As a result it is the mythical hero and not the historical character which remains imprinted in the collective consciousness.
