Gladstone Professor of Greek

The Gladstone Chair of Greek is an academic position that was one of the original endowments of the foundation of the University of Liverpool in 1881. The Chair was named in recognition of the scholarship of W. E. Gladstone, the British prime minister, and the close association of the Gladstone family with Liverpool.^[1]

The chair fell vacant after Professor Long left in 1983 to take up a position in the United States, but was revived in 2017.
