Ludwig Ross und Griechenland = Ludwig Ross kai e Ellada. Kolloquium, Athen, 2. - 3. Oktober 2002

This volume serves as a collection of scholarly papers presented at a colloquium held in Athens in October 2002, organized to commemorate the legacy of Ludwig Ross. Ross was a nineteenth-century German archaeologist and philologist whose extensive travels and excavations in Greece significantly shaped the early development of classical archaeology in the region. The event brought together international experts to re-examine his methodologies, his contributions to the study of Greek epigraphy, and his complex role in the political and cultural atmosphere of post-revolutionary Greece.

Edited by Olga Palagia, a respected professor of classical archaeology at the University of Athens, the book reflects a modern academic effort to contextualize Ross within the broader framework of European philhellenism. The design and structure of the work emphasize scholarly rigor, prioritizing historical documentation and critical analysis over biographical narrative. The publication was received by the academic community as a definitive resource for understanding the intellectual bridge between German romantic classicism and the physical preservation of Greek antiquities during the mid-1800s.
