[edit] Archaeological career
Between 1887 and 1907, Hogarth travelled to excavations in Cyprus, Crete, Egypt, Syria, Melos, and Ephesus (the Temple of Artemis).[1] On the island of Crete, he excavated Zakros.
[edit] Ashmolean museum
He was the keeper of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford from 1909 [2] until his death in 1927. [3] The character of Mr. Dryden (played by Claude Rains) in the film Lawrence of Arabia was loosely based on an amalgamation of Hogarth and colonial Governor Sir Ronald Storrs.
[edit] Military service
In 1915, during World War I, Hogarth joined the Geographical Section of the Naval Intelligence Division.[4] He also was the acting director of the Arab Bureau for a time during the war, with Kinahan Cornwallis as his deputy.
