George Chapman Bücher

Wie ein Paukenschlag markiert die »Ilias« den Beginn der abendländischen Literatur: als Groß-Epos, das die heute allbekannte Geschichte vom zehnjährigen Kampf um Troja erzählt, indem es doch nur die Handlung von rund 50 Tagen aus dem letzten Kriegsjahr schildert. Schon dieser erzähltechnische Kunstgriff zeigt die kompositorische Meisterleistung, durch die das Werk poetische Maßstäbe für alle Zeiten setzte – und der Name Homers zum Inbegriff des Dichters schlechthin wurde. Die Übersetzung von Roland Hampe liegt in der Versform vor.
