Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff (1848-1931) was the leading scholar of his generation and one of the greatest scholars of all time. It has been said that, regarded only as a verbal critic, his “achievement is monumental”.
But Wilamowitz’s work was not limited to editing texts. He also made many notable contributions to the study of Greek Antiquity in metrics, literature, religion, and the history of classical scholarship.Wilamowitz directed no fewer than eighty-nine dissertations. His pupils proved both numerous and influential (e.g., Hans von Arnim, Eduard Fraenkel, Paul Friedlander, Paul Maas, Max Pohlenz, Karl Reinhardt, Wolfgang Schadewaldt).
