Life

The son of the doctor Andreas Georg Drachmann and half-brother of the poet Holger Drachmann studied classical philology in Copenhagen and Germany from 1877 to 1884. In 1887 he failed to apply for a professorship in Christiania ( Oslo ) and then worked as a teacher at schools in Copenhagen. In 1891 he was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD and a year later lecturer at the University of Copenhagen . In 1905 he became an associate professor for classical philology there, and from 1917 a full professor.

In 1933 Drachmann was elected a corresponding member of the Göttingen Society of Sciences .

Drachmann dealt scientifically with Greek ( Pindar ) and Roman ( Catullus , Virgil ) poetry. He also published the works of the philosopher Sören Kierkegaard .

For the Teubner publishing house he was in charge of the edition of the Greek lexicographers, for which the Hesych edition by Kurt Latte was intended. In this context, Drachmann dealt with the so-called Kyrill glossary.

His son was the ancient historian and librarian Aage Gerhardt Drachmann .
