Chapman`s Homer – The Iliad: 151 (Bollingen Series)

This is a wonderful book whose scenes will be in your imagination forever, as will many of its vivid passages and phrases. No praise is too much for this book.This is a book to be carried everywhere. This is a random example:Praise of HomerThat he to his unmeasur'd mightie Acts, Might adde a Fame as vast; and their extracts In fires as bright, as endlesse as the starres... He at Joves Table set, fills out to us, Cups that repair Age, sad and ruinous; And gives it Built, of an Eternall stand With his all-sinewie Odyssean hand. Shifts Time and Fate; puts Death in Lifes free state; And Life doth into ages propogate..........
