Translation and Interpretation
You are going to see five different interpretations of the same “text.” The “text” is actually a character most people would instantly recognize.
Review each “text”; then make a judgment as to which “text” you prefer: the reason for your preference is personal, but try to explain why you prefer that specific interpretation.

Line from “On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer” by John Keats*
Reference
1. “Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold” (5).
Apollo was the Greek god of poetry and music.
2. “That deep-brow’d Homer ruled as his demesne” (7).
Homer, a great Greek poet, wrote two epics, The Iliad and The Odyssey.
3. “Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold” (9).
George Chapman was a poet and playwright.
4. “Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes”
Actually, Balboa, not Cortez, discovered the Pacific Ocean. Even great poets get their facts wrong sometimes.
5. “Silent, upon a peak in Darien” (14).
The Darien mountain range runs the length of the Isthmus of Darien, now called Panama.
