Júlio Francisco António Adeodato Barreto (3 December 1905 – 6 August 1937), popularly known as Adeodato Barreto, was an Indo-Portuguese poet and writer.
Though brought up as Catholic and in western style, his works contain important archetypes and paradigms of Hindu culture. One can see in his poems the notions of Eternal Return and of transmigration, a cornerstone of the Indian philosophy[1]
