Summary/Abstract: Mircea Eliade is a Faustian, odysseic and Dionysian character, marked in his destiny by the madness of omnipotence, by peregrination and contradiction. In this paper we propose facing various moments of his inner life during the period of Portugal basing on the ideas exposed in his Jurnal portughez (The Portugal Journal1). From a reflection on women as a virtual subject and object of desire and enamourment, he moves to other thoughts related to physics and the metaphysics of sex. This matter can be finally connected with broader philosophical and historico-religious realities on the wake of Italian esotericist Julius Evola.
