	George Thomson
		George Thomson performed what he calls the "wisest act of his life," for at the age of twenty-five he married Miss Miller, daughter of Lieutenant Miller, of the 50th regiment, a lady who made him the happy father of two sons and four daughters.
		Thomson’s case, no small amount of devoted enthusiasm must have been required to meet the ridicule of his companions, or resist their invitations, that would have drawn him from his path.
		Thomson, had he been avaricious, might have turned the rich contributions which he had on hand to his own account, by publishing them as a separate work; for they had been unreservedly given to him, and were his own unquestionable property.

	O LUING: George Thomson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Thomson is good at describing human situations - a young woman with her child abandoned by her lover, an army officer in gaudy red uniform, and the heroism with which she copes; the poor Connemara woman in the Galway train, grief-stricken but queenly in her dignity, in striking contrast to her mundane fellow-passengers.
		George Thomson found, at a certain stage of his progress, that the great programme he had envisaged, of providing edited texts, translations and studies of Greek plays and poetry, histories of Greek literature and philosophy, was being held up and halted, at official level.
		George's translation from the History of Herodotus of stories which were appreciated by the Blasket fishermen appeared serially in the monthly journal An Phoblacht between 21 January and 19 May 1928 under the general title An Seana-shaol Gréagach (Life in Ancient Greece).

		Thomson was not of course the first to use anthropology in the study of Ancient Greece.
		Thomson both pointed out the analogies and also showed, by exploring the relation of the philosophers to their changing society, that the analogies are not coincidental, that the changing conception of the world was determined by economic and social change.
		Of Thomson's contribution to Ancient Greek studies I have of course been limited to a tiny sample, chosen to illustrate firstly the dialectical development of Greek culture, secondly the reflection of this dialectic in the consciousness of the Greeks themselves, and thirdly the dialectical relationship of Thomson himself to the tradition of Greek studies.
