Geração de Orpheu (Generation of Orpheus) was a groundbreaking Portuguese modernist literary movement centered around the magazine Orpheu. It emerged in 1915, challenging the conservative literary traditions of its time, particularly Symbolism and Parnassianism. Its unique culture fostered innovation through a radical embrace of European avant-garde currents, introducing Futurism, Cubism, and other modernisms to Portugal.

The movement cultivated a spirit of artistic rebellion and experimentation, attracting young intellectuals eager to break free from established norms. The magazine served as a vital platform, creating a "scenius" by concentrating disparate modernist voices and providing a space for their provocative and often controversial works, thereby shocking the literary establishment and paving the way for future modernist developments in Portuguese literature.
