Publisher Description The product of more than a decades continuous work (1598-1611), Chapmans translation of Homers great poem of war is a magnificent testimony to the power of The Iliad. In muscular, onward-rolling verse Chapman retells the story of Achilles, the great warrior, and his terrible wrath before the walls of besieged Troy, and the destruction it wreaks on both Greeks and Trojans. Chapman regarded the translation of this epic, and of Homers Odyssey (also available in Wordsworth Editions) as his lifes work, and dedicated himself to capturing the soul of the poem. Swinburne praised the resulting translation for its "romantic and sometimes barbaric grandeur, its freshness, strength, and inexhaustible fire", qualities that reflect the grandeur, fire and brutality of the original poem. This new edition includes a critical introduction and extensive notes, rendering Chapmans extraordinary poetic masterpiece accessible to modern readers AUTHOR: The two earliest surviving poetic works of ancient Greece, the Iliad and the Odyssey are attributed to Homer, but it seems likely that no such individual existed, the works being developed over an extended period of time until they achieved their final form in the 6th century BC. Whatever their origins, these epic poems were a major influence in the development of Greek culture.
