My father, John Ellis Jones, a classical scholar and archaeologist, who has died aged 93, after a fall, dedicated himself to teaching and developing his subject in his beloved Cymru.
He joined Bangor University as a lecturer in the classics department in 1958, and remained there, later appointed senior lecturer, until his retirement in 1995. Throughout, with energy and enthusiasm he promoted his subject, organising countless extra- and intramural events, including productions of Greek and Roman dramas. He was curator of the university’s museum and a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London.
