Arthur Milchhoefer
Arthur Milchhoefer (also Milchhöfer ; born March 21, 1852 in Schirwindt , East Prussia, † December 7, 1903 in Kiel ) was a German classical archaeologist .
Arthur Milchhoefer completed his studies in Berlin and Munich in 1873 with a dissertation on the Attic Apollo with Heinrich Brunn . This was followed by a position as a teacher at Wilhelms-Gymnasium in Berlin from 1875 to 1876 . 1876–1878 he held the travel grant of the German Archaeological Institute . From 1880 he was an assistant at the Berlin museums and took part in the excavations in Olympia . Shortly after his habilitation in Göttingen in 1882, Milchhoefer became an associate professor at the Academy in Münster in 1883 , where he set up the seminar for classical archeology. In 1895 he became a full professor of classical archeology at the University of Kiel and at the same time director of the Kiel Collection of Antiquities .
Milchhoefer was the first to suspect a Bronze Age civilization on the island of Crete , which had also subjugated mainland Greece in the time before Troy . After the mythical King Minos from the Theseus saga, he named it " Minoan culture ", a term that was later picked up and coined by the British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans after he began excavations in Knossos in 1900 .
