About this product
Product Information
Homer's great epic describes the many adventures of Odysseus, Greek warrior, as he strives over many years to return to his home island of Ithaca after the Trojan War. His colourful adventures, his endurance, his love for his wife and son have the same power to move and inspire readers today as they did in Archaic Greece, 2800 years ago. This poem has been translated many times over the years, but Chapman's sinewy, gorgeous rendering (1616) stands in a class of its own. Chapman believed himself inspired by the spirit of Homer himself, and matches the breadth and power of the original with a complex and stunning idiom of his own. John Keats expressed his admiration for the resulting work in the famous sonnet, 'On first looking into Chapman's Homer': 'Much have I travelled in the realms of gold...' 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.

Received the extremely well packaged book today, very prompt indeed.
It was described as in 'very good condition', it certainly was and is, it looks new!
And at the bottom of the invoice I was thanked for my purchase with this goodwill message added,
'I hope you love it'!
A first class service, well done all involved.

Item delivered on time and as described. This is going to be a gift for a huge Jane Austen fan, so I won't be reading it, but it seems to have all of the content that was mentioned in the listing. It was a terrific price, too. Excellent service. Am more than happy to recommend seller. Thank you very much.
