Ludwig Ross (22 July 1806 – 6 August 1859) was a German
As a representative of the
Ross has been called "one of the most important figures in the cultural revival of Greece."[1] He is credited with creating the foundations for the science of archaeology in independent Greece, and for establishing a systematic approach to excavation and conservation in the earliest days of the country's formal archaeological practice. His publications, particularly in epigraphy, were widely used by contemporary scholars. At Athens, he educated the first generation of natively trained Greek archaeologists, including Panagiotis Efstratiadis, one of the foremost Greek epigraphers of the 19th century and a successor of Ross as Ephor General.
Early life
Ross was born on 22 July 1806 in Bornhöved in Holstein, then ruled by the Kingdom of Denmark.[2] His paternal grandfather, a doctor, had moved from northern Scotland to Hamburg around 1750.[3] His father, Colin Ross, married Juliane Auguste Remin.[4] When Ludwig was four years old, his father moved the family to the Gut Altekoppel estate in Bornhöved, which he managed and later acquired.[5] Their five sons and three daughters[6] included Ludwig's younger brother, the painter Charles Ross.[2] Ludwig, like Charles,[7] campaigned for Holstein's independence from Denmark.[8] He did not consider himself Danish, and has generally been counted as German in modern scholarship.[9]

Archaeological career in Greece (1832–1843)
Ross arrived in Greece on 22 July [O.S. 10 July] 1832,[1][a] two weeks before the National Assembly confirmed the appointment of Otto of Bavaria as King of Greece.[20] He was made deputy curator of antiquities at the Archaeological Museum of Nafplion, then capital of Greece, in 1832,[10] and was received by the Greek National Assembly in the city on 8 August [O.S. 27 July], presenting them with a lithograph of Otto which he had brought with him from Trieste.[21]
Ross travelled to the Mycenaean site of Tiryns on 12 August [O.S. 31 July]. On 22 August [O.S. 10 August], he sailed to the island of Aegina, on the way to Athens, in the company of three British artists and John Black, an English civil servant married to Teresa Makri, known as the inspiration for Lord Byron's "Maid of Athens".[17] Ross's first visit in the city was to the home of Kyriakos Pittakis, Black's brother-in-law,[22] a self-taught archaeologist who would be appointed "custodian of the antiquities in Athens" a few weeks later.[23]
Otto arrived in Greece at Nafplion on 6 February [O.S. 25 January] 1833.[24] Ross travelled to meet him with Forchhammer, who had joined him in Greece the preceding October, and the architects Eduard Schaubert and Stamatios Kleanthis. The party met Otto within a few months of their own arrival, a few days after the king's, and travelled widely around nearby archaeological sites such as Epidauros, Tiryns and Argos.[25]
Like many German archaeologists and scholars,[26] Ross found favour with the young king,[27] and Ross would later accompany Otto on archaeological travels around Greece.[28] Ross had been expected to leave Greece in 1833, having unsuccessfully applied in 1832 for an extension of his travel scholarship, and subsequently applied successfully in May 1833 for 200 rigsdaler to help pay for his journey back to Germany. In June 1833, the Bavarian architect Adolf Weissenberg was appointed as ephor with overall responsibility for Greek antiquities.[29] Shortly afterwards, Ross was offered a post as antiquary to the Bavarian government, but refused it as he did not wish to serve under Weissenberg. Ross subsequently accepted the Greek government's offer, in November 1833, of the post of "sub-ephor" (Greek: ὑποέφορος) of antiquities for the Peloponnese, alongside Pittakis for the rest of mainland Greece and Ioannis Kokkonis for Aegina. All three reported to Weissenberg.[30] During his tenure as sub-ephor, Ross lived in Nafplion and kept in regular contact with Otto's regent, Josef Ludwig von Armansperg, to whom he wrote about his dissatisfaction with the Greek government, the dirtiness of Nafplion's streets and the quality of its housing.[31]
Ross organised a series of sporting competitions, similar to the ancient Olympic and
Work on the Acropolis of Athens (1834–1836)
In July 1834, the architect Leo von Klenze arrived in Athens to advise Otto on the development of the city. Klenze suggested that the Acropolis, which was at that point a military fortress occupied by Bavarian troops, should be demilitarised and designated an archaeological site. A royal decree to this effect was issued on 30 August [O.S. 18 August].[37] Weissenberg's reputed lack of interest in antiquities, as well as his political opposition to Armansperg,[38] led to his dismissal from office in September. On Klenze's recommendation,[39] Ross was given the title of Ephor General of Antiquities, with charge of all archaeology in Greece, on 10 September [O.S. 29 August], which included direct responsibility for the Acropolis.[40] He was paid a salary of 3,000 drachmas: a comfortable wage at a time when manual workers earned an average of 175 drachmas per year.[41] Ross's control of the Acropolis passed over Pittakis, who had been serving since 1832 as the unpaid "custodian of the antiquities in Athens",[42] and into whose sub-ephorate Athens fell by the arrangement of 1833.[30] In Athens, Ross worked mostly alongside architects from northern Europe, particularly the Prussian Schaubert, who was made Greece's chief architect in 1834;[43] the Danish Christian Hansen, who replaced the Greek Kleanthis on the latter's resignation, shortly after work began;[44] and the Dresden native[45] Eduard Laurent.[39] The dominance of non-Greek scholars in the excavation and conservation of Greek monuments provoked resentment from the native Greek intelligentsia, and animosity between Pittakis and Ross.[26]
Tension existed between the Greek state's aim of conserving Athens's ancient monuments, the Acropolis's role as a military fortification, and the needs of the expanding city. Klenze had envisaged that the area around the site would be kept clear of buildings, creating an "archaeological park": the pressure on housing created by a growing population, as well as the generally chaotic nature of city government in this period, made this aim impossible.[46] In 1834, Ross was asked to compose a list of sites around the Acropolis that were most in need of protection, so that they could be acquired by the state. Working with Pittakis, he identified thirteen, but was initially forced to reduce the list to five, before the proposed initiative was abandoned altogether.[46] In 1835, both to fund the restoration works and to control the number of visitors, the Acropolis became the first archaeological site in the world to charge an entrance fee.[46] Ross's work was seen as part of the broader project of building Athens as the capital of the new Greek state: in 1835, Ross became a member, and subsequently the chair, of the building commission responsible for the planning of the city and of the government's imminent move there from Nafplion.[47] According to an anecdote related by the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, who visited Ross in Athens in 1841, Ross interceded to prevent the felling of a palm-tree scheduled to be removed to allow the construction of Hermes Street; Andersen therefore dubbed the tree, which remained in the middle of the road, "Ross's Palm".[48]
His role in the planning of Athens's redevelopment occupied Ross throughout 1834, leaving him too little time for archaeological work.[49] His work on the Acropolis began in January 1835,[39] and has been described as the first systematic excavation of the site.[8][b] Initially, the Acropolis was still occupied by Bavarian soldiers, in defiance of the royal decree of the previous August.[39] Through the support of Egid von Kobell ,[c] a member of Otto's regency council, Ross was able to arrange the soldiers' departure in February[36] and for guards for the archaeological works to be posted in their stead.[52] Klenze set out a series of principles for the restoration, which included the removal of any structures deemed to be of no "archaeological, constructional or picturesque" (German: mahlerisch) interest, reconstruction using fallen parts of the original monuments (anastylosis) as far as possible, and the placement of fragments deemed of aesthetic interest in "picturesque piles" between the monuments.[52]
Since shortly after 1822, Pittakis had been establishing a public collection of the Acropolis's antiquities in the Church of the Megali Panagia, which had become one of Greece's first archaeological museums.[53] Construction work on the church, which began in 1834, necessitated the removal of its collection, by then numbering 618 artefacts, to the Temple of Hephaestus (then known as the Theseion).[54] Klenze's proposals advocated for the removal of some of the Acropolis's remaining fragments of sculpture to be displayed in the Theseion;[52] in March–May 1835, Ross and Schaubert carried out rebuilding and restoration work there to make it suitable for its new role as a museum, which included the demolition of the apse constructed during the monument's use as a Christian church.[55]
On the Acropolis, Ross's initial works of 1835 focused on the
At the Tower of Athena Nike, Ross's demolition of the bastion revealed the disiecta membra of the former temple, which has been described by the archaeological historian Fani Mallouchou-Tufano as "one of the greatest moments in the history of the Acropolis in this period".[36] Ross and his collaborators carried out the reconstruction of the temple between December 1835 and May 1836.[36] They arranged the excavated fragments of the temple, as well as other remains of nearby monuments, including the Propylaia, on top of the surviving crepidoma and column bases with little regard for their individual situation.[36] The restoration was hailed at the time as the first full reconstruction of a Classical monument in Greece, but later observers criticised the haste in which the work was undertaken, the incongruity of the use of modern materials where ancient fragments could not be found, and the lack of correspondence between Ross's reconstruction and any plausible original design of the temple.[60]
Throughout his excavations on the Acropolis, Ross published his results in both the academic press and in reports to German newspapers.[61] At a time when relatively few Greek archaeologists worked outside Athens,[62] Ross organised archaeological collections throughout the Cyclades, and conducted excavations on Thera in 1835. On Thera, he unearthed twelve funerary inscriptions, which he divided between Thera, the regional museum on Syros (which he had ordered to be established in 1834–1835)[63] and the Central Museum in Athens.[63] He remained closely connected with the Ottonian court,[10] and guided Otto's father Ludwig I of Bavaria and the German nobleman Hermann von Pückler-Muskau during their respective visits to Greece.[64] He also corresponded closely with the British antiquarian William Martin Leake, who had travelled extensively through Greece in the early 19th century. Leake's final account of his travels, Travels in Northern Greece, was published in 1835 and became the period's standard introduction to the archaeology and topography of Greece.[65]
Ross had a long-running feud with Kyriakos Pittakis,
The Greek authorities asserted that Ross's actions were illegal: Pittakis attacked Ross in the press,
On Ross's resignation,[71] Pittakis was appointed ephor of the Central Public Museum for Antiquities,[72] making him the most senior archaeologist employed by the Greek Archaeological Service and its de facto head.[73] He received the title of Ephor General in 1843.[71][d] Until 1838, Pittakis and others continued to write hostile articles against Ross, accusing him of allowing foreign journals privileged access to Greek inscriptions, of improperly giving away antiquities to von Pückler-Muskau during his visit, and of plotting to flee the country with antiquities in his possession.[75] Ross continued to dispute the allegations in the press until April 1838, but made no further response after an article written by Pittakis in May, entitled "Final Answer".[76] The archaeological historian Nikolaos Papazarkadas has argued that Pittakis's opposition to Ross's actions was personal rather than principled, pointing out that Pittakis made no protest against the copying of several thousand Greek inscriptions by French epigraphers from 1843 onwards, a project supported by the prime minister, Ioannis Kolettis.[77]
Professorship at Athens (1837–1843)
The regent Armansperg promised to restore Ross's status as Ephor General, but failed to do so, which cooled relations between himself and Ross.
Ross's gave the university's first lecture on 22 May [O.S. 10 May], on the topic of Aristophanes, before an audience of around thirty.[82] During his professorship, he lectured widely on Ancient Greek and Latin literature, on the history of Classical Athens and Sparta,[83] and on the topography of Athens, largely basing his course on inscriptions that he had discovered himself.[63] In the 1840–1841 academic year, Ross offered a course in Greek epigraphy, marking the first time that epigraphy had been taught as a distinct discipline in Greece.[63] His students included the future epigrapher and Ephor General Panagiotis Efstratiadis.[84]
Ross was elected as a member of the university's nine-member senate, where he supported the introduction of German-style Privatdozenten, so-called "private lecturers" teaching without the status or rights of full professors.[85] In 1834, he had published the first volume of Inscriptiones Graecae Ineditae ('Unpublished Greek Inscriptions'), a compendium and edition of the Greek inscriptions he had discovered; this was the first epigraphical volume to be published in Greece.[63] He was criticised on its publication for writing in Latin rather than Greek; this criticism may have been part of the reason why he delayed the publication of the second volume, which had been expected in 1835, until 1842.[86] Between May and October 1838, he travelled in Italy, Austria and Germany, staying with the classicist Friedrich Thiersch in Munich and visiting his family in Bornhöved for the first time since his departure for Greece. He spent July in the spa town of Bad Kissingen in Bavaria, where he sought a spa cure for an illness.[87] In 1839, he published the results of his excavations at the Temple of Athena Nike, in a volume illustrated by Hansen and Schaubert.[88]
In 1841, Ross published his Handbook of the Archaeology of the Arts, written in During his tenure at Athens, Ross travelled widely throughout Greece, including a journey to Marathon in 1837 with his brother Charles and Ernst Curtius, the future excavator of Olympia.[92] Alongside archaeology, he took an interest in modern Greek ethnography and folklore, including the spread of the Greek language,[93] which he spoke sufficiently fluently that Greeks often mistook him for a native.[94] In August and September 1837, he travelled through the Greek islands, visiting Sikinos, Sifnos, Amorgos, Kea, Kythnos, Santorini and Ios, accompanied by the German geographer Carl Ritter and the Scottish historian George Finlay.[95] Ross published his explorations on Sikinos as The Archaeology of the Island of Sikinos.[96] His archaeological description of Sifnos was described by the American archaeologist John H. Young in 1956 as "still the best account of the island we possess ... for more than a hundred years of archaeological research has still produced no better guide to the islands than Ross".[97]
Ross subsequently travelled through the Greek islands and Asia Minor, making him one of the first Europeans to explore the interior of Caria and Lycia,[98] in 1841 and 1843. He published an account of his travels as Journeys on the Greek Islands of the Aegean Sea in 1843 and 1845.[99] He took leave of absence for about half of 1839 and all of 1842, during which he visited Germany and Italy, and did not teach at all during the academic year 1841–1842.[100] He regularly accompanied King Otto on archaeological travels during his time at Athens,[28] including a tour of the Peloponnese with Queen Amelie in May–June 1840, which Ross considered one of his most successful journeys.[101] He was appointed to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in 1836,[102] and as a corresponding member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in 1837.[103]
By the late 1830s, negative comments in the Greek press about the so–called "
During his Aegean travels of 1843, Ross received news of the military coup that had taken place on 15 September [O.S. 3 September] of that year and had forced Otto to dismiss almost all of the non-Greeks in public service.[109] Ross was succeeded as Professor of Archaeology at Athens by the Constantinople-born Greek archaeologist and polymath Alexandros Rizos Rangavis in 1844.[110]
Professorship at Halle (1843–1859)
Through the support of his friend, the German polymath
A man named "L. Ross" was referenced by the Arabist Otto Blau as visiting the archaeological site of Petra, Jordan, in 1845.[115] Blau describes "Ross" as an Englishman, but the archaeologist David Kennedy has argued that Blau may have mistaken the nationality of the Scottish-descended Ludwig Ross, which would make Ross one of the earliest scholars to visit the site.[116]
Ross eventually took up his professorship at Halle in 1845.[10] He was an isolated figure in German academia, partly due to his criticism of well-respected scholars like the philologist Friedrich August Wolf and the historian Barthold Georg Niebuhr. His then-unfashionable emphasis upon the links between Greek and Near Eastern civilisation placed him in conflict with the views of the prominent classicist Karl Otfried Müller, who had argued for the autochthonous nature of Ancient Greek culture.[117] Ross's views were supported by the historian Julius Braun in Germany and by the archaeologist Desiré-Raoul Rochette in Paris.[118] During a debate at Halle over the layout of its museum of art, Ross proposed that exhibits should be displayed on four walls, giving equal prominence to objects from Greece, Rome, Egypt and Asia.[119]
He published the third volume of Inscriptiones Graecae Ineditae in 1845, and a treatise on the demes of Attica with his colleague Eduard Meier in 1846.[120] In 1848, he published Italics and Greeks: Did the Romans Speak Sanskrit or Greek?, in which he argued that Latin was a linguistic descendant of Greek in the same way that the Romance languages are descended from Latin,[121] rejecting the emerging discoveries in the field of Indo-European studies. In 1850, he co-founded a monthly literary journal, the Allgemeine Monatsschrift für Literatur, with the historian Johann Gustav Droysen and the publisher Carl Gustav Schwetschke , Ross's father-in-law. The journal ceased publication after only a few years.[122]
Ross intended to publish his excavations of the Parthenon and the area of the Propylaia, complementing his 1839 publication of the Temple of Athena Nike, but had been forced by 1855 to abandon the project, partly due to financial constraints and partly due to the difficulty of collaborating with his co-authors Hansen and Schaubert without being physically present in Greece.[123] Both Müller (in 1843) and the French archaeologist Philippe Le Bas (in 1847) had already published some of the discoveries from the Temple of Athena Nike, relying on drawings made by others.[124]
Personal life, death and legacy
Early in 1847, Ross married Emma Schwetschke, the daughter of his future collaborator Carl Gustav Schwetschke.[120] Shortly thereafter, he developed the beginnings of a health condition, which gradually reduced his strength and mobility and caused him increasing pain and discomfort.[118] He attempted, unsuccessfully, to treat his condition with spa cures.[118] He may have suffered from syphilis, evidence of which the archaeological historian Ida Haugsted has traced to Ross's letters of early 1842.[106] He continued to suffer from the depression which had begun to affect him in the later years of his time in Greece.[105]
Ross died by suicide[10] in Halle on 6 August 1859.[125] He was buried in Bornhöved,[126] alongside his brother, Charles, who had died of typhus the previous year.[127]
Ross's reflections on his career in Greece, Reminiscences and Communications from Greece, were published posthumously in 1863, with a foreword by his friend Otto Jahn.[128] In the volume, which consisted largely of Ross's diaries and letters from his time in Greece, Ross alleged that technological backwardness and governmental incompetence had held back the development of Greece, and criticised both Otto's government and native Greek politicians for their "localism" and the alleged weakness and lethargy of the royal administration.[129]
Ross has been praised as one of the greatest figures in Greek epigraphy and as an important force in its beginnings as an academic discipline.[77] Haugsted has described him as "one of the most important figures in the cultural revival of Greece."[1] Ross's work was used heavily by August Böckh in his own influential epigraphical works, a debt which Böckh acknowledged in the subtitle of his 1840 work Documents on the Maritime Affairs of the Athenian State: "with eighteen panels, containing the copies made by Mr. Ludwig Ross."[130] Though the execution of his restoration of the Temple of Athena Nike has been criticised,[60] his excavation and restoration work has been praised for its systematic approach and for beginning a long trend of similar endeavours on the Acropolis.[8] He has generally been viewed as a competent and successful Ephor General,[131] whose service and resignation had considerable consequences for the development of Greek archaeology.[132]
