George Chapman

    1 de enero de 1559 – 12 de mayo de 1634

    George Chapman fue un dramaturgo, traductor y poeta inglés cuya obra muestra la influencia del estoicismo. Como erudito clásico, demostró un profundo compromiso con el legado antiguo, evidente tanto en su poesía como en sus obras de teatro. Su enfoque estilístico anticipó a los poetas metafísicos del siglo XVII, mientras que sus traducciones de las epopeyas de Homero son logros monumentales en la traducción inglesa. El legado de Chapman reside en su manejo magistral de los temas clásicos y su distintiva voz literaria.

      Homero es el poeta griego por antonomasia, el poeta divino que influyó decisivamente en el arte, la literatura, la lengua, la religión y la filosofía griegas. Su obra, memorizada por los escolares, ha dejado a través de los siglos una huella indeleble en la vida de los griegos. Homero llegó a Occidente de la mano de Petrarca, cuando este humanista adquirió los manuscritos de los dos inigualables poemas homéricos que, con gran dolor, no supo descifrar. El mensaje de la «Ilíada» está, sin embargo, ahora claro para nosotros: aunque los héroes hagan frente al inexorable hado que pesa sobre los mortales cosechando la gloria, nada hay sobre la tierra más miserable que el hombre. La presente edición restituye la obra a sus orígenes ofreciendo una traducción muy literal en verso.
