Friedrich W. Solmsen (February 4, 1904 – January 30, 1989) was a German-American philologist and professor of classical studies. He published nearly 150 books, monographs, scholarly articles, and reviews from the 1930s through the 1980s.[1] Solmsen's work is characterized by a prevailing interest in the history of ideas.[2] He was an influential scholar in the areas of Greek tragedy, particularly for his work on Aeschylus, and the philosophy of the physical world and its relation to the soul, especially the systems of Plato and Aristotle.
