| 1559?–1634, English dramatist, translator, and poet. He is as famous for his plays as for his poetic translations of Homer’s Iliad (1612) and Odyssey (1614–15). Chapman was a classical scholar, and his work shows the influence of the Stoic philosophers, Epictetus and Seneca.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.
