Benjamin Farrington

    This author was a distinguished scholar and professor of Classics, contributing significantly to the history of Greek science. His influential books were among the first in English to focus specifically on this field, establishing his academic reputation across Ireland, South Africa, and Great Britain. Beyond his scholarly pursuits, he was a committed socialist, actively engaging in political discourse and writing. While his intellectual rigor was respected, some critics felt his socialist leanings may have unduly influenced or overshadowed his academic work.
