Biography From the late 1940s until the mid-1980s, he taught in the Department of Classics at Dalhousie University in Halifax. He was himself educated at Dalhousie as well as at the University of Toronto, Harvard University, and the University of Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar.

It contains writings on Greek poetry; the culture of ancient Rome; ancient, medieval, and modern phi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
