MURRAY, (George) Gilbert (Aime)
- MURRAY, (George) Gilbert (Aime)
(1866-1957)
UK classical scholar, best known for his many translations from the Greek classic drama, for his UTOPIAN sense that contemporary society could be changed by persuasion (justified in the case of women's suffrage) and for seminal studies such as The Rise of the Greek Epic (1907) and Four Stages of Greek Religion (1912). His sf novel, Gobi orShamo: A Story of Three Songs (1889), as by G.G.A. Murray, is a lost-race tale (
LOST WORLDS) featuring a race of Hellenes whose ethical precepts are unsparingly ancient but who have also mastered weapons of mass destruction.
