You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.202.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:04, 17 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Richmond Alexander Lattimore''' (May 6, 1906 – February 26, 1984) was an American poet and [[classicist]] known for his translations of the Greek classics, especially his versions of the ''[[Iliad]]'' and ''[[Odyssey]]''.

==Biography==
Born to David and Margaret Barnes Lattimore in [[Paotingfu]], [[Qing China|China]], he graduated from [[Dartmouth College]] in 1926.<ref name = Mitgang>((cite news|url = https://www.nytimes.com/1984/02/28/obituaries/richard-lattimore-dead-a-classical-scholar-and-poet.html|title = Richmond Lattimore Dead; A Classical Scholar and Poet|date = February 28, 1984|accessdate = February 26, 2024|last = Mitgang|first = Herbert|newspaper = [[The New York Times]]|page = D27|url-access = limited))</ref> His brother [[Owen Lattimore]] was a [[Sinology|Sinologist]] who was blacklisted for his association with China during the McCarthy era, but subsequently rehabilitated when none of the charges against him proved to be true. Their sister [[Eleanor Frances Lattimore]] was an author and illustrator of children's books.

Richmond was a [[Rhodes Scholar]] at [[Christ Church, Oxford]], and received his B.A. in 1932,<ref name = Mitgang/> and subsequently, under the direction of [[William Abbott Oldfather]], received a Ph.D. from the [[University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign|University of Illinois]] in 1934. He joined the Department of Greek at [[Bryn Mawr College]] the following year, and married Alice Bockstahler, with whom he later had two sons, Steven and Alexander;  Steven also became a classical scholar and professor at [[UCLA]].<ref>S. Lattimore's translation of Thucydides was published in 1998 by Hackett.</ref>

From 1943 to 1946, Lattimore was absent from his professorial post to serve in the [[United States Navy]], but returned after the war to remain at [[Bryn Mawr College]], with periodic visiting positions at other universities, until his retirement in 1971. He continued to publish poems and translations for the remainder of his life, with two poems appearing in print posthumously.

From 1953 to 1960, he partnered with [[David Grene]] to co-edit a complete translation of the [[Greek tragedies]] of [[Aeschylus]], [[Sophocles]], and [[Euripides]] for [[University of Chicago Press]].<ref>((cite journal|journal=Classical Philology|volume=110|number=4|last=Schein|first=Seth L.|title=Book Reviews: The Complete Greek Tragedies|date=October 2015|doi=10.1086/682976|url=https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/682976))</ref>

He translated the [[Book of Revelation]] in 1962. A 1979 edition by McGraw-Hill Ryerson included the four Gospels.  Lattimore completed his translation of the entire New Testament, which was published posthumously in 1996 with the title ''The New Testament''.

For many years Lattimore accompanied his wife Alice to services at the Episcopal [[Church of the Good Shepherd (Rosemont, Pennsylvania)|Church of the Good Shepherd]], Rosemont, near Bryn Mawr College, a church with an [[Anglo-Catholicism|Anglo-Catholic]] worship tradition. He chose to be baptized<ref>https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Baptismal_Documentation_of_Richmond_Lattimore.pdf ((Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022))</ref> on Easter Eve 1983 and confirmed<ref>https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Communicant_Documentation_of_Richmond_Lattimore.pdf ((Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022))</ref> as a communicant there, due in part to his work translating the [[Gospel of St. Luke]].<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.crisismagazine.com/2008/richmond-lattimore|title=Richmond Lattimore - Crisis Magazine|date=May 19, 2008|work=Crisis Magazine|access-date=March 9, 2018|language=en-US))</ref>

Lattimore died from cancer in [[Rosemont, Pennsylvania]], on February 26, 1984, aged 77.<ref name = Mitgang/>

==Memberships==
Lattimore was a Fellow of the [[Academy of American Poets]], and a member of [[Phi Beta Kappa]], the [[National Institute of Arts and Letters]], the [[American Academy of Arts and Sciences]], the [[American Philosophical Society]], the [[American Philological Association]], and the [[Archaeological Institute of America]], as well as a Fellow of the [[American Academy at Rome]] and an Honorary [[Christ Church, Oxford#Governing body|Student]] at Christ Church, Oxford.
