Georgios St. Korres

Georgios St. Korres was a passionate archaeologist known for his dedication to the preservation of the Iliou Melathron, the former home of Heinrich Schliemann in Athens. He fought tirelessly to transform the building into a museum dedicated to Schliemann, emphasizing its cultural significance and connection to ancient Troy. Despite his efforts to persuade the Greek government, he was unable to achieve this vision, but his extensive knowledge of the Iliou Melathron and his writings remain crucial for understanding Schliemann's legacy and the importance of this historical site.
