H. J. Rose

Herbert Jennings Rose FBA (5 May 1883, in Orillia – 31 July 1961, in St Andrews) was a Canadian-born British classical scholar, best remembered as the author of ''A Handbook of Greek Mythology'', originally published in 1928, which became for many years the standard student reference book on the subject, reaching a sixth edition by 1958. Rose's ''Handbook'' was brought up-to-date along the same framework by Robin Hard, in ''The Routledge Handbook of Greek Mythology'' (Routledge 2004), a project that began as a mere revision.
