H. J. Rose
Herbert Jennings Rose FBA (5 May 1883, Orillia – 31 July 1961, St Andrews) is remembered as the author of ''A Handbook of Greek Mythology'', originally published in 1928, which for many years became the standard student reference book on the subject, reaching a sixth edition by 1958. Rose's ''Handbook'' was brought up-to-date along the same framework by Robin Hard, in ''The Routledge Handbook of Greek Mythology'' (Routledge 2004), a project that began as a mere revision.
==Early life==
Rose was born in Orillia, Ontario, Canada, to a family of Scottish descent. He attended McGill University, where he was awarded a Rhodes scholarship, with which he went on to Balliol College, Oxford. He was said to be the first Oxford undergraduate to wear a soft hat on Sundays. He drew a chess game on Board 1 with the famous J R Capablanca in a cable match between American and English universities on 23 March 1907.〔Chess Notes 7220 Cable game Edward Winter〕
For four years he was a fellow and tutor of Exeter College. In 1911 he married Eliza Plimsoll, elder daughter of Samuel Plimsoll, the British social reformer who advocated improved safety standards at sea.
From 1919 - 1927 Rose was Professor of Latin at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth and from 1927 - 1953 he was Professor of Greek at the University of St Andrews. Also during this time in 1934 he became a fellow of the British Academy.
