Frederick William Hasluck

Hasluck was educated at The Leys School and King's College, Cambridge, graduating with a first class degree in classics in 1904 and winning a Browne medal.

[1] He then went to the British School at Athens and helped on excavations in Laconia, Greece namely in Geraki[2][3] and Angelona,[4][5] Cyzicus and Bithynia, finding much new material, including an inscription of Cn.

In 1913, being Assistant Director (1911–15) and Librarian (1906–15) of the British School in Athens, Hasluck married Margaret Hardie.

As a wedding present, Hardie chose a visit to Konya (ancient Iconium) from the options offered her by her husband, and the couple spent the spring of 1913 there together.

[7] Frederick had long been interested in the interplay of Christianity and Islam within the Turkish Empire, and he was gradually to make this a central part of his work.
