Blaise Nagy, brother of Gregory Nagy (Professor of Classics, Harvard University) is a professor of Classics at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester Massachusetts and former chair of the Classics department.

In addition to a translation of Louius Gernet's "The Anthropology of Ancient Greece" in tandem with John Hamilton (1981, John Hopkins University Press), Professor Nagy has authored a commentary on selections of the Athenian historian Thucydides (A Thucydides Reader, 2005 Focus Press).

Professor Nagy's early work was in the realm of epigraphy, having trained under Sterling Dow at Harvard University. His most notable accomplishment was the identification of the Athenian Peplotheke, a building on the Athenian acropolis where the peplos of Athena was stored.

At Holy Cross he teaches courses in Greek and Roman history, the satires of Horace and Thucydides.
