Life
Gerhard Müller studied mathematics and classical philology at the universities of Marburg (1926–1927), Göttingen (1927–1928) and Kiel after graduating from the Staatliche Gymnasium Erfurt (1926) . Here he was particularly influenced by the visiting professor Giorgio Pasquali and the private lecturer Willy Theiler , who later became his doctoral supervisor. In the 1930/1931 winter semester, Müller passed the first state examination in Latin and Greek with distinction. He then completed his probationary year at the Pforta State School . After the pedagogical examination in 1933, he worked for a short time as a study assessor at the Erfurt high school and did his doctorate at the Königsberg University under Willy Theiler, who had been a full professor there since 1932. The title of his dissertation was The Structure of Books II and VII of Plato's Laws, with contributions to the individual declaration and an excursus on Laws 732d-734e . In 1934, Müller completed the Rigorosum .

After the war he went to the University of Kiel, where he worked as a research assistant. In 1947 he completed his habilitation here with Hans Diller and Erich Burck with the work Studies on Plato's Nomoi . After eleven years as a private lecturer, he joined the University of Münster as an associate professor in 1958 . In 1962 he received a full professorship with a focus on Greek studies at the newly founded Justus Liebig University in Gießen , where he worked until after his retirement in 1976.
Müller's main field of work was the commentary and explanation of ancient literature. He wrote treatises on the writings of Plato , Sophocles and Lucretius . In 1986 his collected Platonic Studies were published by the Heidelberg University Press Winter .
