Francis Macdonald Cornford

    František Cornford bol britský klasicistický učenec, ktorý sa odklonil od tradičného filologického prístupu k štúdiu antiky. Spolu s podobne zmýšľajúcimi kolegami z Cambridge sa zameral na odhaľovanie základných myšlienok a mýtov, ktoré formovali klasické Grécko. Jeho práce skúmali hlboké korene západného myslenia a filozofie, často s dôrazom na prepojenie medzi náboženstvom a filozofickou špekuláciou. Prostredníctvom svojich vplyvných publikácií prispel k pretlmočeniu nášho chápania antickej mytológie, filozofie a komédie a jeho satirické dielo sa dodnes vysmieva akademickému systému.
