Benjamin Bickley Rogers (11 December 1828 – 22 September 1919) was an English classical scholar. Rogers was born in Shepton Montague, Somerset in 1828. He was educated at Highgate School and Wadham College, Oxford,[1] where he became President of the Oxford Union in 1853. He was elected a Fellow of the college in 1852 and was called to the bar in 1856.[1] He gave up a successful legal practice when increasing deafness obliged him to retire.[1] He then devoted himself exclusively to literature.[1] He translated all the plays of Aristophanes, reproducing the Greek metres in the English version.[1] Some of the comic verses use the metre of the Major-General's song in Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore. In March 1902 he was elected an Honorary Fellow of Wadham College.[2] Rogers died in Twickenham on 22 September 1919.[1] Sources1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite EB1922 |wstitle=Rogers, Benjamin Bickley |volume=32 |page=289}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Rogers, Benjamin Bickley}}{{England-academic-bio-stub}}{{England-law-bio-stub}}2. ^{{Cite newspaper The Times |articlename=University intelligence |day_of_week=Tuesday |date=11 March 1902 |page_number=5 |issue=36712| }} 8 : 1828 births|1919 deaths|English classical scholars|Alumni of Wadham College, Oxford|Fellows of Wadham College, Oxford|English barristers|People educated at Highgate School|Presidents of the Oxford Union |
