Professor of Greek (University College London)

May 02, 2024

The Professorship in Greek was one of the original professorships of University College London (UCL) in 1828.[1] The position was established at the same time as the Professorship in Latin. The inaugural lecture of the first incumbent was delivered on November 1, 1830.[2] The teaching of classical Greek (and Latin) at the new University of London "challenged both the monopoly and the style of Oxbridge classics".[3] Since the Second World War the chair has been occupied by a series of renowned scholars including T. B. L. Webster (who founded the Institute of Classical Studies), Eric Handley, P. E. Easterling, Richard Janko, and Chris Carey. P. E. Easterling is the only woman to have held the position.
