In my studies on THE year 1850 I found Heinrich Schliemann. W.G.Niederland, New York, wrote About him and published his findings in 1969.
I quote:
Heinrich Schliemann, 1822-1890, archeologist/creative mind. THE re- creation of THE history of THE Mycenean Age which has occupied archeologists and students of antiquity for almost a century, owes iTS inception to One man: H. Schliemann.
....there is little doubt that Schlieman's achievement represents a Turning point in THE exploration of THE ancient world. THE history of scientific Discovery has few more spectaculair Tales than that of a self made man who rose from obscurity to add to our knowledge an unknown millennium of cultural and artistic growth, to unearth iTS geographical locations and buried splendors, and to prove THE historical reality of what had herefore been regarded as mainly poetic imagination.
Eros and thanatos.
Schliemann's work opened up broad fields of new research. Almost single-handed he brought THE early Hellenic and pre-Hellenic civilizations within THE orbit of scientific investigation.
Why am I writing this?
Just this summer, anno 2014, I found two Books in my studyroom, THE only leftovers of high school, THE gymnasium of RSG Schoonoord, Zeist, THE Netherlands.
THE first book is a physics learning book.
THE second book has THE title Grieken en Romeinen, Translated Greek and Romans, written by M. Huyge, 1971, historian.
The stories my Dear teacher Mrs. De Wit had told us, between 1978 and1984 must have been derived on THE Books by Homerus, THE Ilyas and THE Odyssea, I had to Translate from ancient Greek to THE Dutch language. But she also must have derived Some of her knowledge by Reading Huyge. And she probably has counceled Schliemann.
I have to check this.
Unfortunately I handed out THE book by Huyge to Herman, a college phd personality at THE VU, Amsterdam.
And Mrs. De Wit has died in THE meantime.
