El Consejo de los Dioses is a play written in Spanish by Filipino writer andnational hero Jos Rizal,

first published in 1880 in Manila by the Liceo Artistico Literario de Manila in 1880, and later by La
Solidaridad in 1883.
El Consejo de los Dioses was written by Rizal when he was only nineteen years old, and reveals the
humanistic education of the Philippines at the time and his answer to scholasticism.

El Consejo de Los Dioses (The Council of the Gods) is an allegorical play written in 1879 by our
national hero Jose Rizal. It was first published in Liceo Artistico Literario de Manila review in 1880, latterly
in La Solidaridad in 1883. In December 1900 this was translated in Tagalog. This version was adapted
into sarswela by Pascual H. Poblete and published in El Comercio de Filipinas. Hucapte made
arrangements for the staging in 1915 afterwards, in 1961 it was edited with a prologue by Astrana Maria
in El Cervantismo de heroe Filipino Rizal. Nick Joaquin translated the play in English. The play won the
first prize award in a 1880-1881 literary contest commemorating the death of Cervantes sponsored by the
Liceo Artistico Literario de Manila. I enter the future remembering the past, Rizal's epigraph for the
award. This is considered as the most sensuous of Rizal's writings, reveals his magnificent showy side as
hispanist and classicist.

Summary
Jupiter, the Roman chief of the Gods, is planning to give three grandiose gifts (a golden lyre, trumpet, and
a golden crown made of laurels) crafted by Vulcan to a mortal who did best in literature. Juno,
Jupiters wife, suggests Homer, the writer of Iliad. Meanwhile, Venus, thegoddess of beauty,
recommends Virgil, author of Aedes. On the other hand, Minerva (goddess of wisdom) goes for
Cervantes, author of Don Quixote. With this disagreement, the other gods were also supposed to fight
but were stopped by Jupiter by allowing Justice (a goddess not found in the original Roman lineup yet
introduced by Rizal in his allegory) to weigh the circumstances without any bias in her balance. She
weighed the Aedes with the Iliad and found them equal. The same goes with Don Quixote. With this,
Jupiter decided to give the lyre to Virgil, the trumpet to Homer, and the laurels to Cervantes.

Amor Patrio ang kanyang kauna-unahang isinulat na propaganda na ipinadala sa dyaryong tagalog
Ang pag-ibig sa tinubuang Lupa. Si Ferdinand Blumentritt, isang banyaga at nagsilbing kuya ni
rizal, isang Aleman mula sa Germany si Blumentritt. isa rin siyang punong-guro sa isang paaralan sa
Litomerice. Ipinanganak siya sa Praha sa isang pamilya ng mga Alemang Sudeten at ang isa sa
mga pinakanangungunang dalubhasa sa Pilipinas noong kaniyang panahon. Sa kanya natagpuan ni
Rizal ang tunay na pagkakaibigan sa kabila ng mag-kaibang lingguwahe, sakanya rin pinababatid ni
Rizal ang bawat saloobin niya sa lahat ng ngyayari sa bansang Pilipinas lalong lalo na ang
ginagawang pang-gigipit ng mga kastila sa kanyang pamilya. Hanggang sa naisulat niya ang El
Filibusterismo at Noli Me Tangere na nglalayon sa pag-bubukas ng mga mata at ulirat ukol sa
pagpapahirap sa mga kapwa Filipino niya. Hanggang siya ang sintensyahan ng kamatayan.
Mahahalintulad ku ang Pluma at sa tatag ng tinta nito sa buhay at mga tala ni Rizal, dahil tulad ng
pluma na sa oras na malapat sa mga papel ay habambuhay na itong nakasulat. Tulad nalang ng
mga isinulat ni Riza na siyang nag-sanhi sa ating mga ninuno upang ipag-laban an gating kalayaan,
mga karapatang pang-tao, karapatang mabuhay nang patas at Malaya mula sa mga mananakop na
kastila. Ipinakikita dito na kung marahil ay wala si rizal at ang kanyang mga tala at reporma ay
marahil siguro ay nasa ibabaw parin tayo ng kapangyrihan ng mga kastila at iba pang mananakop.
