See also:CHRISTIAN See also:AUGUST See also:LOBECK (1781-186o) , See also:German classical See also:scholar, was See also:born at See also:Naumburg on the 5th of See also:June 1781 . After having studied at See also:Jena and See also:Leipzig, he settled at See also:Wittenberg in 1802 as privat-docent, and in 1810 was appointed to a See also:professor-See also:ship in the university . Four years later, he accepted the See also:chair of See also:rhetoric and See also:ancient literature at See also:Konigsberg, which he occupied till within two years of his See also:death (25th of See also:August 1860) . His See also:literary activities were devoted to the See also:history of See also:Greek See also:religion and to the Greek See also:language and literature . His greatest See also:work, Aglaophamus (1829), is still valuable to students . In this he maintains, against the views put forward by G . F . Creuzer in his Symbolik (1810-1823), that the religion of the Greek mysteries (especially those of See also:Eleusis) did not essentially differ from the See also:national religion; that it was not See also:esoteric; that the priests as such neither taught nor possessed any higher knowledge of See also:God; that the See also:Oriental elements were a later importation . His edition of the See also:Ajax of See also:Sophocles (1809) had gained him the reputation of a See also:sound scholar and critic; his Phrynichus .(1820) and Paralipomena grammaticae graecae (1837) exhibit the widest acquaintance with Greek literature . He had little sympathy with See also:comparative See also:philology, holding that it needed a lifetime to acquire a thorough knowledge of a single language . See the See also:article by L . Friedlander in Allgemeine deutsche Biographie; C . See also:Bursian's Geschichte der klassischen Philologie in Deutschland (1883) ; See also:Lehrs, Populare Aufsatze aus dem Altertum (2nd ed., Leipzig, 1875) ; Ludwich, Ausgewahlte Briefe von and an Chr . Aug . See also:Lobeck and K . Lehrs (1894); also J . E . See also:Sandys, History of Classical Scholarship, i . (1908), 103 . Bills introduced for purposes of See also:blackmail . |
