"Dopey old bastard"? Now, now. If you're lucky enough to be capped by our esteemed Chancellor, bear in mind that he is still, even at his advanced age, one of the most prominent ancient historians in the world, even if he does masturbate over mountain vistas and drive colleagues to suicide.

Eliot's right--Kenneth Dover may be quite elderly, but he is awesome and one of THE most eminent academics in his field.
