I have just noticed the passing of the Greek scholar Professor George L. Huxley, author of Early Sparta (1962), hailed at the time as being "a brilliant book".
Professor of Greek at Queen's University Belfast from 1962 until 1983, he became Honorary Professor of Greek at Trinity College Dublin in 1989, and finally became an Irish citizen at the age of 86. He had a close association with the British School in Athens throughout his career.
