{"product_id":"the-iliads-of-homer-george-chapman-9781981198856","title":"The Iliads of Homer: Homer","description":"The Iliads of Homer; Translated from the Greek by George Chapman. Of all books extant in all kinds, Homer is the first and best. No one before his, Josephus affirms; nor before him, saith Velleius Paterculus, was there any whom he imitated, nor after him any that could imitate him. And that Poesy may be no cause of detraction from all the eminence we give him, Spondanus (preferring it to all arts and sciences) unanswerably argues and proves; for to the glory of God, and the singing of his glories, no man dares deny, man was chiefly made. And what art performs this chief end of man with so much excitation and expression as Poesy; Moses, David, Solomon, Job, Esay, Jeremy, etc. chiefly using that to the end abovesaid? And since the excellence of it cannot be obtained by the labour and art of man, as all easily confess it, it must needs be acknowledged a Divine infusion. To prove which in a word, this distich, in my estimation, serves something nearly: Great Poesy, blind Homer, makes all see Thee capable of all arts, none of thee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Chapman, Homer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1981198857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781981198856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.72d","brand":"George Chapman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940558045439,"sku":"9781981198856","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_49771b7f-b0ff-40f1-aaf7-64362baa9fd2.jpg?v=1681447880","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-iliads-of-homer-george-chapman-9781981198856","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
