Translated by George Chapman, with Introductions by Jan Parker.
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.
