Biographical History
Cyrus Herzl Gordon (June 29, 1908 – March 30, 2001) was an American scholar of Near Eastern cultures and ancient languages. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and took his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania.
During World War II, Gordon served in the U.S. military, volunteering for the Army in 1942, at the age of 33. As the head of a new cryptanalysis team, Gordon and other linguists used their collective skills in deciphering and analyzing encrypted messages. After the war, Gordon taught at Dropsie College, Brandeis University, and New York University (NYU).
