This work aims to analyze the cordel literature/poems of the work Ispinho e Fulô, by Patativa do Assaré, under the perspective of French Discourse Analysis, the concept of Ethos and the epic Semiotization of discourse, thus, search for the discursive images of the Northeastern man and identify, in the cordel literature, the epic discourse characteristics. The research corpus brings together six poems/cordels that were categorized into two sub-themes: the man and the land, which are interconnected to conceive the representations of the Northeast and its people. From them, we were able to identify the discursive images of a strong and fighter man, as well as the ethos of the wronged rather than the miserable man: in contrast to the images that are generally disseminated about him. In the meantime, Patativa also creates a collective heroic identity for the Northeastern people and, through the approximation of the characteristics of the cordels and the characteristics of the epic discourse, he shows that there are still ways of manifesting this discourse in modern times.
