H. D. F. Kitto

Humphrey Davey Findley Kitto (6 February 1897-21 January 1982) was a British classical scholar of Cornish ancestry. He was born in Stroud, Gloucestershire.

He was educated at the The Crypt School, Gloucester and St. John's College, Cambridge. He wrote his doctorate in 1920 at the University of Bristol. He became a Lecturer in Greek at the University of Glasgow from 1920 to 1944. On that year, he returned to the University of Bristol where he became Professor of Greek and emeritus in 1962. He concentrated on studies of Greek tragedy, producing also translations of works of Sophocles.

His 1952 general treatment "The Greeks" covered the whole range of ancient Greek culture, and became a standard text.
