The Iliad and the Odyssey by Homer
ISBN: 9781840221176 PUBLISHER: Wordsworth Editions Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 976 PUBLICATION DATE: 5.07.2000 DIMENSIONS: 198mmX129mmX49mm 596grams
DESCRIPTION: Hector bidding farewell to his wife and baby son, Odysseus bound to the mast listening to the Sirens, Penelope at the loom, Achilles dragging Hector's body round the walls of Troy - scenes from Homer have been reportrayed in every generation. The questions about mortality and identity that Homer's heroes ask, the bonds of love, respect and fellowship that motivate them, have gripped audiences for three millennia. Chapman's Iliad and Odyssey are great English epic poems, but they are also two of the liveliest and readable translations of Homer. Chapman's freshness makes the everyday world of nature and the craftsman as vivid as the battlefield and Mount Olympus. His poetry is driven by the excitement of the Renaissance discovery of classical civilisation as at once vital and distant, and is enriched by the perspectives of humanist thought.
