Heinrich Schliemann

    January 6, 1822 – December 26, 1890

    A German businessman and amateur archaeologist, he championed the historical reality of places mentioned in the works of Homer. Schliemann conducted archaeological excavations at Troy, as well as at the Mycenaean sites of Mycenae and Tiryns. His work lent weight to the idea that Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid reflect actual historical events.
