- Abstract
Henry Schliemann's reputation as an archeologist, a linguist, a financial genius and a scholar, is seldom recognized by Americans. His discovery of the ruins of Troy changed Homeric myths and legends into history and made him the founder of Aegean archeology. Recent popular books on Schliemann sketchily describe his otologic problems which eventually led to his death of an otogenic brain abscess. From a number of bibliographic sources, the details of Schliemann's ear history and the final months of his illness are recounted. The important information of Schliemann's ear operation by the famous Professor Swartze is presented.
