'Heinrich Schliemann', (1822-1890), German archaeologist, 1893. Artist: Unknown.

Heinrich Schliemann, (1822-1890), German businessman and a pioneer of field archaeology, 1893. Schliemann was an archaeological excavator of Hissarlik, now presumed to be the site of Troy, along with the Mycenaean sites Mycenae and Tiryns. His work lent weight to the idea that Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid reflect actual historical events. Along with Arthur Evans, Schliemann was a pioneer in the study of Aegean civilization in the Bronze Age.
