He was an outstanding scholar of the language and culture of Ancient Greece, perhaps the leading authority in the first half of the twentieth century. He was educated at Merchant Taylors' School and St John's College, Oxford. In 1889–1899, he was Professor of Greek at the University of Glasgow. After 1908 he was Regius Professor of Greek at the University of Oxford. From 1925–1926 he was the Charles Elliot Norton Lecturer at Harvard University.
