Heinrich Schliemann (1822-1890) was a self-made man with a remarkable aptitude for language and an excellent business mind. He was also the founder of Aegean archeology, providing a factual base for the writings of Homer, which until then had been considered merely a collection of mythologic poems. During his life, Schliemann suffered from ear trouble, ultimately dying from an otogenic temporal lobe brain abscess. He consulted many of the most famous 19th century otologists and was eventually operated on by the famous Professor Schwartze. We present the life and death of arguably the most famous man of his day as drawn from a number of biographic sources and speculate on the ear pathology that ultimately lead to his demise.
海因里希·施里曼（1822 - 1890）白手起家，有着非凡的语言天赋和出色的商业头脑。他也是爱琴考古学的奠基人，为荷马的著作提供了事实依据，在此之前，这些著作一直被认为只是神话诗集。施里曼一生饱受耳部疾病困扰，最终死于耳源性颞叶脑脓肿。他咨询过许多19世纪最著名的耳科专家，最终由著名的施瓦茨教授为他实施了手术。我们从众多传记资料中梳理出这位当时最著名人物的生平与死因，并推测最终导致他死亡的耳部病理学原因。
