- Eric Alfred Havelock (June 3, 1903 – April 4, 1988) was a British classicist who spent most of his life in Canada and the United States. He was a professor at the University of Toronto and was active in the academic milieu of the Canadian socialist movement during the 1930s. In the 1960s and 1970s, he served as chair of the classics departments at both Harvard and Yale. Although he was trained in the turn-of-the-century Oxbridge tradition of classical studies, which saw Greek intellectual history as an unbroken chain of related ideas, Havelock broke radically with his own teachers and proposed an entirely new model for understanding the classical world, based on a sharp division between literature of the 6th and 5th centuries BC on the one hand, and that of the 4th on the other. Much of Havelock's work was devoted to addressing a single thesis: that all of Western thought is informed by a profound shift in the kinds of ideas available to the human mind at the point that Greek philosophy converted from an oral to a literate form. The idea has been very controversial in classical studies, and has been rejected outright both by many of Havelock's contemporaries and modern classicists. Havelock and his ideas have nonetheless had far-reaching influence, both in classical studies and other academic areas. He and Walter J. Ong (who was himself strongly influenced by Havelock) essentially founded the amorphous field that studies transitions from orality to literacy, and Havelock has been one of the most frequently cited theorists in that field; as an account of communication, his work profoundly affected the media theories of Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan. Havelock's influence has spread beyond the study of the classical world to that of analogous transitions in other times and places.

- Visse prevalentemente in Canada e negli Stati Uniti. Fu professore all'Università di Toronto e un attivista nell'ambiente accademico del movimento socialista canadese durante gli anni trenta. Negli anni sessanta e settanta insegnò nel dipartimento di studi classici sia di Harvard che di Yale. Benché si sia formato all'ombra della tradizione degli studi classici di Oxbridge, che vedeva della storia della filosofia greca una catena ininterrotta di idee tra loro affini, Havelock ruppe radicalmente con i suoi maestri e propose un nuovo modello di lettura del mondo classico, basata su una marcata differenza tra la letteratura del VI e del V secolo a.C. e quella del IV e dei successivi secoli. L'opera di Havelock si fonda essenzialmente su questo presupposto: che tutto il pensiero occidentale sia connotato dalla profonda frattura consumatasi nel momento in cui la filosofia greca convertì la sapienza orale arcaica in nuove forme letterarie. Quest'idea è molto controversa negli studi classici ed è stata completamente rigettata da molti dei filologi e classicisti contemporanei ad Havelock. Cionnonostante la lettura del mondo greco di Havelock ha avuto una notevole influenza tanto negli studi classici quanto in altre discipline. Essa contribuì, per esempio, alla costruzione delle teorie sulla comunicazione di massa di Harold Innis e Marshall McLuhan. Gli studi di Havelock, in Italia, furono proseguiti soprattutto da Antonio Capizzi e Bruno Gentili.
