Benjamin Bickley Rogers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Benjamin Bickley Rogers (December 11, 1828 – September 22, 1919) was an English classical scholar.
Rogers was born in Shepton Montagu, Somerset in 1828.
He was educated at Wadham College, Oxford. He was elected a Fellow of the college in 1852 and was called to the bar in 1856. He gave up a successful legal practice, when increasing deafness obliged him to retire.
He then devoted himself exclusively to literature. He translated all the plays of Aristophanes, reproducing the Greek metres in the English version.
He died in Twickenham in 1919.
