William Wyse (19 March 1860 – 29 November 1929) was a classical scholar, noted for his work on the Attic orator Isaeus, and a benefactor of the University of Cambridge.
After graduation he submitted a dissertation on Aristotle's Politics to become a fellow of Trinity before becoming a tutor at the London firm of Wren and Gurney.
The position did not last long, however, as, disillusioned by the low calibre of his students, Wyse resigned in 1894 and resumed his fellowship at Trinity.
Mayor and J. E. Sandys spoke in high regard of Wyse's criticism of the newly discovered treatise by Aristotle on the Constitution of Athens which (in Sandy's words) "give abundant proof not only of his acumen as a textual critic, but also of profound acquaintance with Greek History and Constitutional Antiquities.
"[2] In 1904, the year of his retirement from Trinity due to ill health,[3] Wyse published his magnum opus, a Greek text and commentary on the speeches of Isaeus.
