in antiquities. The man listened briefly to Schliemann’s account of his operations at Halle, and then switched to a more fascinating subject: Schliemann’s archaeological investigations. The doctor suggested that together they go out to Pompeii to look at recent excavations and, excited by the conversation, Schliemann agreed, joining the physician in a foolhardy jaunt.
On his return from Pompeii, Schliemann sank into a deep sleep from which he awakened in torture, pain wracking his ear and his whole upper body. He knew that he dared not leave for Greece, and at 11 :15 A.M. on December 22 he wired Sophia that he could not leave Italy then, but would arrive in Athens on Saturday afternoon. At 10:30 A.M. on the 23rd he sent another message, informing Sophia that he was still unable to travel but would be in Athens by Tuesday.
With Heinrich ill and absent, Christmas at Iliou Melathron was a dismal day that Sophia did her best to make jolly for Andro and Memeko. In Naples, shortly before noon, Heinrich dressed for a walk to the home of his doctor, a destination he was never to reach.
Schliemann was destined to play out a scene as tragic as any written by Sophocles and Euripides, Tired and trembling, painwracked and afraid, Heinrich started to cross the Piazza Santa Carita, and collapsed. Passers-by stopped. Policemen were called. An ambulance took the unconscious Schliemann to a hospital, whkh refused admittance to a penniless man, whose pockets contained neither money nor identification. Without pity for one so seriously ill, the hospital authorities sent him to a police station. Revived, but unable to speak, Schliemann rolled his head from side to side in agony. Finally a policeman found in Heinrich’s pocket a slip of paper on whkh was scribbled the address of his doctor. From him, Neapolitan police officials were amazed to learn the identity of the illustrious man. Schliemann was immediately returned to his hotel suite.
Under sedatives, Heinrich passed Christinas night in semi-consciousness, paralyzed and speechless. Dawn broke through scattered clouds on December 26. Heinrich Schliemann, the parson’s son whose birth was attended by a village midwife, was surrounded by eight famous Italian dorters. After examining the patient, the doctors withdrew for a consultation about the advisability of surgery.
[272]
When they returned to the suite, Heinrich Schliemann was dead.
The tragic tidings stunned Sophia. For a moment she was in capable of thought or action. Then calling on her inner reserves of strength, she sent word to Naples that Schliemann’s body should be placed in a lead casket. Dorpfeld and Sophia’s brother Yiango were dispatched to Naples to accompany the body back to Athens.
The ship bearing Heinrich’s corpse put into the Piraeus, and Sophia, alone, met the small boat that brought the casket ashore. She willed it that way, refusing King George’s offer to send an honor guard to the port. The lead coffin was lifted onto a carriage, and Sophia stepped into another in which she followed the coffin of her husband. As the two carriages halted in front of Iliou Melathron, members of the family, servants, government officials, and friends surged forward. The casket, borne on the shoulders of men who cried unashamedly, was carried through the two bronze gates bearing the signs of the sauvastika and the swastika. With measured tread, the bearers ascended the sweeping outer stair way, went through the wide doors, passing under the mural of Phoebus Apollo, the rising sun god ready to bring light to a new day, and on into the Great Hall of Iliou Melathron. There the coffin was placed on a prepared bier; a Greek flag was draped over the coffin and a pedestal topped by a bust of Homer was placed at its head.
Telegrams of condolence, sent by royalty, scholars and friends, poured in from around the world. One of the first was from Kaiser Wilhelm II.
MY SINCEREST CONDOLENCES FOR YOUR HEAVY LOSS MAY THE GENERAL PARTICIPATION TO YOUR GRIEF, AS WELL AS THE ADMIRATION AND VENERATION WHICH YOUR DECEASED HUSBAND HAD SECURED FOR HIM SELF AS RESEARCHER AND ALSO AS A MAN FOR THE WORLD OF OUR AGE AND FOR POSTERITY, BE SOMEWHAT OF A CONSOLATION
Signed: WILHELM
KAISER WILHELM OF GERMANY BERLIN SCHLOSS
The casket in the Great Hall was guarded by Evzones, the King’s guards, and people streamed past it to pay their last respects to Heinrich Schliemann. Among the first to call at the house of mourning were King George I of Greece and Crown Prince Constantine.
A simple notice written by Sophia and published in Athenian
[2733
newspapers announced Schliemann’s death and the plans for his funeral on Sunday, January 4, 1891. As night fell on January 3, King George and Prince Constantine returned to Iliou Melathron and there stood silent watch throughout the night. Early on January 4, Sophia joined the King and the Crown Prince at the bier. Recollection of the joys and sorrows shared with her be loved husband crowded her mind as she reviewed the turbulent twenty-one years of their marriage.
The King had decreed that Schliemann should be given the full honors of a state burial. The funeral, held at Iliou Melathron, began midmorning when the Protestant Chaplain to the Royal Household arrived with the aging Archbishop Vimbos. The Great Hall, the salons and stairways were filled with mourners as the Chaplain intoned the short service. The coffin could hardly be seen for flowers, and on top was Heinrich’s copy of the Iliad, torn and frayed from his repeated readings of Homer’s epic. Sophia stood throughout the service, tightly gripping the hands of Andromache and Agamemnon.
As the last words of the service died away, the sobs of mourners crescendoed. The casket was carried down to a gun carriage waiting in front of Iliou Melathron. Queen Olga, a devout Greek Orthodox communicant, did not attend the funeral; but after Sophia and the children were handed into a black carriage, King George and Prince Constantine fell in behind the Evzone honor guard that surrounded the caisson drawn by eight black horses. The funeral procession, moving down University Street, passed the Royal Palace where a lone figure stood on the balcony. Queen Olga, looking over the heads of the thousands crowding the dirge-ful route, mingled her tears with those of others gathered to pay belated homage to the man who had brought such fame to Greece.
At the cemetery, Sophia and her two children accompanied the casket into the templed mausoleum, which Heinrich had placed on the high spot with the unobstructed view of the blue Aegean. Sophia stood in the shadowy mausoleum while the casket was put in place; then everyone retired, leaving her alone. Ten minutes later she emerged into the sunshine and watched the closing of the giant bronze doors.
She looked up at the tomb’s pediment and at the lower frieze which, encircling the mausoleum, depicted Heinrich and her with
[274]
Yannakis and workmen, digging at Troy. The weeping of others ceased when they heard her clear voice speak :
“Helen rose third leading the lament:
Oh Hector, most dear of all my stalwart brothers, and most dose to my heart! Truly my husband is the royal Alexandros who fled me to Honored Troy, yet would I had died before this. Twenty years have come and gone since I left mine homeland for Troy, yet while here none among you has said an unkind and cruel word to me. If others spoke harshly of me, a sister or brother among you, or even a brother’s wife, or your mother; fair indeed was your father to me as though my own; you challenged them, silenced them, with your loving spirit and loving words. For this I weep for you all and we together weep for my sorrowing self. Throughout all Troy there is no one good and kind; instead they revile me. Dawn on the following day showed her rosy fingers through the clouds, and Trojans circled round the funeral pyre of great Hector. At first they quenched the flame with their wine where flames still burned. Next, Hector’s brothers and dearest friends brushed together his white-ash bones, while tears of sorrow wet their cheeks. Placing his remains in a golden casket, wrapping it in fine purple cloth, they put the casket in a grave and piled heavy stones atop the grave. Swiftly they formed the marked-place as guards stood alert lest the Achaeans attack without warning. This accomplished, mourners returned to the city … the Palace of their King, Priam. That was the funeral of Hector.”
Full twenty years had passed since the young Sophia had recited those lines for Dr. Heinrich Schliemann, the stranger who had visited the Arsakeion School to observe her. On the day of the funeral, Sophia omitted only “and all in family and of friends partook of a great feast in” the second from the last line of the passage.
The whole funeral assemblage did return to Heinrich’s palace, where Sophia, stepping from her carriage, looked down the street toward The Arsakeion. Then, thanking the King and the Crown Prince, and others who stood silently by, she took Andromache and Agamemnon by the hand. The three mounted the sweeping stairs and passed through the open doors, disappearing into Iliou Melathron.

EPILOGUE
When Heinrich died, Sophia was thirty-eight years old. She was an experienced archaeologist ; an executive of considerable ability ; a gracious woman of intelligence, charm and wit. After her hus band’s death, she alone supported the work of Wilhelm Dorpfeld at Troy for four years, until the German government arranged to share the financial burden.
Traveling widely, Sophia kept in touch with old friends on the Continent and made new ones. When she was in residence at Iliou Melathron, she received scholars, notable private citizens, and statesmen. Ideas for many creative projects were fomented in her salon. She personally originated plans for Greek orphanages, and initiated the establishment of tubercular sanatoriums, directing the building and operation of those institutions. Her generous donations, made possible by the fortune left her by Heinrich, helped to build and support Soteria, a hospital and research center for the treatment and study of tuberculosis; and Sophia was frequently there, visiting patients and consulting with staff members.
Sophia was a devoted mother to Andromache and Agamemnon. He was reared in Athens and capitals in Europe, and resided in Paris for most of his adult life at 6, Place St. Michel. Like his father, he had an unfortunate first marriage that ended in divorce. His second marriage was happy but childless. Having inherited his father’s business acumen, Agamemnon amassed a fortune, and died wealthy in Paris, where he was buried in the cemetery PereLachaise.
In October 1892, Andromache married Leon Melas, namesake and young relative of the man who had taken Heinrich to see Sophia at The Arsakeion. Their wedding was the most fashionable social event of the season. Andromache’s handsome and eminent husband followed his family’s tradition as devoted patriot to Hellas through years of stormy internal and external strife.
[282]
Widowed at an early age, Andromache Melas raised three sons, Michel, Alex and Leandros, distinguished men who served Greece as foreign diplomats, military officers and government officials. The only living grandson of Heinrich and Sophia Schliemann is General Alex Melas, who sat in the Chamber of Deputies as elected representative, and fought with gallantry in five wars, giving of himself and his fortune to his country.
One of Sophia’s devoted friends and a supporter of many of her charitable projects was Eleutherios Venizelos, the modern Pericles of Greece, champion of democracy who was many times Premier. Venizelos Street is the second name of University Street on which Iliou Melathron, now a law court, faces. Sophia Schliemann lived at Iliou Melathron until 1927 when she moved into a small house that she built for herself near the sea at Phaleron.
As Sophia grew older, she suffered from heart trouble, and in vain her doctors tried to make her curtail activities; she would promise that some journey for charity would be her last, and then, soon after, would go on another. Dr. Sakkorafos, a professor of medicine with whom Sophia had consulted about various hospitals and orphanages, had her assurance that a 1932 trip to the Peloponnesus would be her final one. And it was.
She set out to find a suitable location for a new sanatorium, and returned home full of enthusiasm for the ideal site that she had discovered high in the mountains of the Peloponnesus. Only a night or two after, she wakened in distress, sharp pains shooting through her chest. Dr. Sakkorafos, called at three o’clock on a bitter cold morning, drove from Athens to Phaleron, and without even examining Sophia, told Andromache that her mother could not live long.
The indomitable Sophia battled for life for thirteen days. While she ky ill, prominent Greeks asked for hourly bulletins on her condition; telegrams from around the world expressed concern and consolation. Poor people, who had known Sophia’s charity and love, gathered at Phaleron and stood outside the home of the great lady for whom they prayed Sophia Engastromenos Schliemann, like her husband Heinrich, had a state funeral. Thousands of people, rich and poor, unknown and famous, filed past her coffin that was covered with the white-and-blue flag of Greece. Many of those who paid their last respects
[283]
to Sophia placed sheaves of flowers beside her coffin and knelt at the church altar, their tears flowing unchecked.
Premier Venizelos, on foot, followed Sophia Schliemann’s bier from the Metropolitan Cathedral in Athens to the cemetery, where her coffin was placed in the mausoleum beside that of Henry, her husband, friend, colleague and lover.
Sing through me, O Muse, and through me relate the story of that man skilled in methods of contending, the wanderer, plagued over the years, after he plunged through the fastness on the proud Hill of Troy.

APPENDIX A
The address given by Madame Schliemann for a special meetin| held in her honor by The Royal Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, June 8, 1877, and printed in Volume XXXIV of the Archaeological Journal of 1877.
A very large and brilliant company assembled this day, under the presidency of Lord Talbot de Malahide, to receive Mrs. Schliemann, Among those present were the Duke of Argyle, Lord Houghton, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.R, the Very Rev. Dr. Hieronymm Myriantheus (Archimandrite of the Greek Community), M. Gennadius (Greek Charge d’ Affaires), Dr. Schliemann, Lady Alcock, the Hon. M. Mostyn, C. T. Newton, Esq., C.B., Robert Browning, Esq., Sir J. D. Scott, Bart., J. Bonomi, Esq, Sir W. H. Drake, K.C.B., Professor Donaldson, M. Karl Blind, Baron Julius Reuter, Rear-Admiral Spratt, Dr Birch, E. Oldfield, Esq., the Rev. J. Fuller Russell C.D.E. Fort^num, Esq., M. Ralli, E. J. Reed, Esq., M.P., S. Tucker, Esq., Rog*Croix, M. Lascaridi, Dr. L. Schmidt, J. Murray, Esq., A. H. Grant, Esq., Miss Amelia B. Edwards, the Rev. H. J. Bigge, J. Thome, Esq., &c. His Excellency the Turkish Ambassador was prevented from being present by a previous engagement.
The noble CHAIRMAN introduced Mrs. Schliemann to the meeting in a few happy words of welcome, and presented her with a booqoet of flowers, representing the Greek national colours.
Mrs. SCHLIEMANN then read the following paper: “On the High culture of the Ancient Greeks; the Long Series of Agorts whkfe contributed to it; the reason of its Decay; of the Advantages of U>e Language of Plato; and further, of the Share she had taken in the Discoveries at Troy and Mycenae,”
“At a time when tbe rest of the world was still living & barfemsms dark night, my ancestors, the ancient Greeks, had in science and arts reached such a pitch of perfeetiofi as caa never be surpassed by man. Of the hundred thousands of master-pieces of scripture which ooce ornamented the pdblk edifices, the Agoras, a**I fee streets of oar ancient cities, only a few have escaped the pta zeal of fte wfr Christians, or the ignorance of the barbarians, who turned them into
[285!
lime, and those few now adorn the modern museums as precious relics of Greece’s past glory, and as mournful monuments of the fragility of human things.
Our political institutions, our statesmen, our orators, our philosophers, and our poets have in all posterior ages been objects of wonder and admiration to the world at large ; they have for thousands of years been the ideals of perfection to all those who aspired to a high culture ; in fact, so much so, that even at the present day no one is considered to have a high education unless he be thoroughly acquainted with them. But, alas ! Greek books have had a like fate as Greek works of art, and I make bold to say that not even one-thousandth part of our ancient classics has escaped destruction. But I must not forget that my ancestors have also distinguished themselves by their heroism and military skill, and that our Greek history is full of names such as Agamemnon, Achilles, Diomedes, Ulysses, Aristodemos, Miltiades, Themistocles, Phocion, Pericles, Epaminondas, Philip II, Alexander the Great, whom the mightiest of the mighty and the proudest of the proud warriors of posterior ages took as ideals of military virtue. But with their superior wisdom and all their other great qualities, my ancestors had a great vke, without which they would probably have subjugated the world by their arms, in the same way as they in later ages subjugated it by their genius. That vice was ‘envy.’ The decay of Greece dates from that unfortunate day, in 413 B.C., when some Athenians, who were envious of Akibiades’ past and coming glory, succeeded in persuading the people to send out a ship to Sicily to fetch him back as prisoner, in order that he might be judged for his irreverence to the gods. Had this not happened, Sicily would in a few weeks have fallen into our hands, because Alcibiades’ genius had already captured Catania, and was on the very eve of capturing Messina ; and, when once in possession of Sicily* the Athenians would have had no trouble in conquering the whole of Italy, because Rome was at that time still weak and powerless. But it was our ill fate that it should be so. The fragile fingers of men cannot arrest the rotation of destiny’s wheel.
The question now arises how it came that, in the midst of nations which lingered in barbarism, Greek genius cooki lift its head to the heavens. I think that this could only be produced by the combination of a whole series of fortunate circumstances, of which I must first mention our beautiful, sonorous language, the mere sound of which filled my husband with wild enthusiasm at a time when he did not know yet a word of Greet Further, the quickness and vivacity of the Greek mind, the beautifnl sky of Greece, from which the son shines nearly always the whole day in Ml brilliancy; in fact, there is no day in the year on which we do not see the sun, there is seldom a night in which
[286]
the starry heavens cannot be seen in all their splendour. Further the indescribable beauty of the outlines and colours of the Greek mountains ; then the marvellous beauty of the sea, studded as it is with magnificent islands, which, by the reverberation of the sun-light, present the appearance as if they were floating; hence the myth of the floating Greek islands. I further mention the infinite number of gods and the firm faith people had in them. But this world of gods could only be engendered in the minds of Greeks and in an atmosphere like that of Greece. Thus the natural enthusiasm of my ancestor for the sublime was stimulated by their beautiful language, by the splendour of the sky by day and night by the magnificence of the mountains, the sea, the seemingly floating islands, and by the firm belief in the supernatural power and beauty of their gods. But, in spite of all these stimulants, Greek genius could never have reached such a lofty height as can never again be attained by man had it not been for divine Homer, from whom orators and sculptors, statesmen and painters, wise men and poets, freely borrowed their grandest ideas. So, for instance, Phidias, when asked whence he had taken the idea for his Olympian Jupiter, answered with the verses of the “Iliad :”(!, 52&-530.)

“He said, and nodded with his shadowy brows, Waved on the immortal head the ambrosial locks, And all Olympus trembled at his nod.”
Alexander the Great never slept without having under his pillow a copy of “Homer/* which he called “the store of military virtue/’ To Dr. Schlietnann’s and my admiration for Homer are we indebted for the discoveries of Troy and the five royal tombs of Mycenae with their treasures. The part I have taken in the discoveries is but small, in Troy as well as in Mycenae. I have oily superintended thirty workmen. One of my explorations at Troy was the excavation of the large herok tomb which, according to Homer, was attributed by the immortal gods to the Amazon Myrine and by men to Baticia, the Qoeen of Dardarms, In Mycenae I excavated the large treasury dose to the Lions’ Gate. This excavation, one of the most difficult works we erer accomplished, lasted four months, and thoogh I found no treasures there, yet this exploration has been of some importance to science, because, besides a number of sculptures, I fotzad there a mass of most interesting pottery, which shows us the remote antiquity m which tiie treasury was shut up. I have further taken an active part in the excavation of the five royal
[287]
tombs in the Acropolis; all of them were rock-cut, and at a depth of from twenty-five to thirty-three feet below the surface of the ground. The flat bottom of these tombs was covered with a layer of pebble stones, which can have had no other intention than that of giving ventilation to the funeral pyres, which were put on it, and on which the dead bodies overladen with jewels were laid. There were in all fifteen bodies in the tombs, and each of them had been burnt on a separate pyre. The fire of the pyres was not yet extinct when the whole of the sepulchres were covered with a thick layer of white clay, and then with another layer of pebble stones, upon which earth was thrown. Above these tombs were erected sepulchral slabs, and, when these had been covered up by, and disappeared in, the dust of ages, other tomb stones were erected three or fotir feet above them. Until the upper layer of pebble stones the excavation was easy, because we had only to direct our workmen to dig here or there; but from thence it was exceedingly difficult, because, on our knees in the mud, my husband and I had to cut out the pebbles, to cut away the layer of clay, and to take out one by one the precious jewels. But the joy we felt in seeing our efforts crowned with such marvellous success made us forget our hardships, and our enthusiasm was so great that we often thought we had breakfasted and dined when we had not got anything at all for the whole day.
We Greeks owe to England an everlasting gratitude, because without the generous assistance of this great country Greece could never have attained her independence. Only lately, again, England has with generous liberality ceded to us the beautiful Ionian Islands, But it is said that gratitude is a lively anticipation of future favours, and so I venture to hope that England will not desert the cause of Greece in the present eventful crisis.
I conclude with an appeal to the English ladies to teach their children the sonorous language of my ancestors, so that they may be enabled to read “Homer” and our other immortal classics in the original. The immense difficulties of our ancient language could be easily overcome by the highly intelligent English children if they first thoroughly learnt our modern Greek language, and afterwards the ancient tongue. Instead of ten years, the children would in this way acquire in less than one year a thorough knowledge of ancient Greek, and they would have the immense advantage of our modern language, which, as a spoken tongue, would make it totally impossible for them ever to forget the language of Plato and Homer. I, therefore, with intense enthusiasm advocate and advise you to get from Greece teachers for all your schools.
I terminate in warmly thanking you for the indulgence with which you have listened to an enthusiast for Homer.
[288]
APPENDIX B
When Heinrich Schliemann presented the Treasure of Troy to the German people in 1881, the collection was housed in one of the many buildings comprising the Staatliche Museum. At the ceremony of acceptance, officials, dignitaries, and scholars, in varying phrases, pledged that the Schliemann Collection, well guarded, would remain on view for all time. Unfortunately for posterity, the pledges, made in good faith, were not to be realized. Most of the magnificent Trojan Treasure is missing today.
During World War II, the bulk of the pottery objects was removed for safekeeping to Lebus Castle on the Oder River. Many metal objects and gems were stored under a Berlin museum. Some precious objects, Mycenaean as well as Trojan, were secreted in a German mine. Gold treasures in packing cases were placed in a bunker beneath the Zoological Station in Berlin.
In a late offensive of the war, the Russian army launched an attack in the Oder River region, and Lebus Castle was demolished. Most of the Trojan pottery in the castle was destroyed by military action. Some pieces, salvaged and returned to Berlin, were lost in subsequent bombardment there.
American armed forces gave to the Allied Art Treasure Commission the objects stored in the German mine. Those objects, transported to the central point of collection of German art, are now catalogued and preserved in West Berlin.
When Russian forces took over the East Sector of Berlin, the irreplaceable gold treasure was discovered in the bunker under the Zoological Station. Written instructions ordered that the gold be taken under heavy guard to Moscow, not to the collection center of the Allied Art Treasure Commission.
Here fact ends and supposition must begin. Our research find ings lead us to postulate (1) that the gold treasure remains hidden by Russian authorities; (2) that the gold of Troy en route to Moscow was sidetracked by those charged with its safe conduct.
[289]
Unknown persons, realizing the monetary worth of the shipment headed for Moscow, may have hidden the gold for future recovery, or may have melted the objects for sale on the profitable postwar black market. Each of the two suppositions has its champions among scholars and government officials of various countries. Which one is true is anybody’s guess. If the second conjecture is correct, the mystery probably will be forever unsolved. If the first is right, the Russians may one day place the Trojan gold on exhibition.
On October 11, 1965, we saw twenty-eight minor objects from the Schliemann Collection at the Staatliche Museum in East Berlin. It is expected by the world’s art experts that other insignificant objects will turn up one by one because of the expiration of Germany’s twenty-year statute of limitations on pilfering of art objects in wartime. Art objects returned to any German museum today are accepted and paid for with no questions asked.
Some optimistic experts entertain the vain hope that important pieces from the Schliemann Collection will be recovered within the next few years. Certainly a substantial return is impossible because great numbers of stored objects were destroyed by bombardment, not only at Lebus Castle but elsewhere.

(Continued from front flap)
goal was not gold or glory, but to separate truth
from legend. To his overjiding passion for
knowledge all else was subordinated even at
times the love of Heinrich and Sophia for each
other.
From Schliemann’s return to Greece in 1869 until his tragic death in 1890, the book explores the relationship between this unusual pair. It reveals the depths of Sophia’s reaction against being dragged through Europe and forcibly edu cated by an impetuous middle-aged husband; Schliemann’s despair, which brought him to the brink of divorcing her; and the gradual growth of their love and understanding. It follows their battles with scholars and officials as Schliemann forged passport papers and spirited ancient trea sures across national boundaries, leaving a wake of “international incident” that washed as high as the British prime ministry.
This intimate portrait of a remarkable partner ship will take its place among the most absorbing true stories of our time.
