Frost (born 1929) is an American scholar of Ancient Greek history, archaeologist, politician, and novelist.
[6] Frost's first book was an English edition, with additional commentary and supplementary material, of Adolf Bauer's German-language Themistokles: Studien und Beiträge zur griechischen Historiographie und Quellenkunde (Merseburg: P. Steffenhagen, 1881) published as Themistokles: literary, epigraphical and archaeological testimonia (Chicago, Argonaut, 1967).
He edited Democracy and the Athenians: Aspects of Ancient Politics (New York: Wiley, 1969), which provides a mix of excerpts from primary and secondary sources.
He mapped submerged remains of the ancient city of Halieis, near the modern community of Porto Cheli (in the Argolid Peninsula, Greece) in 1965.
[10] Later, he co-directed the Greek-American excavations at Phalasarna (in Western Crete) with Dr. Elpida Hadjidaki of the Greek Archaeological Service.
