Nicholas Geoffrey Lemprière Hammond, CBE, DSO, FBA (15 November 1907 – 24 March 2001) was a British historian, geographer, classicist and an operative for the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) in occupied Greece during the Second World War.
Hammond was seen as the leading expert on the history of ancient Macedonia.[1][2] His trilogy, A History of Macedonia, has been described as "[t]he most celebrated (and partly irreplaceable) work" on the subject.[3] Additionally, he was recognized for his meticulous research on the geography, historical topography and history of ancient Epirus.[4]
