A modern Greek historian; born at Constantinople in 1815; died at Athens, April 26, 1891. His father was a rich banker of Constantinople, who was put to death during the Greek Revolution of 1821. The son, having escaped to Russia, was educated at Odessa at the expense of the Czar Alexander, and in 1854 became professor of history at the University of Athens. His principal work, "A History of the Greek People" (5 vols., 1862-77), was translated into French in an abridged form as a "History of Hellenic Civilization" (1878).
