From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul-François Foucart (15 March 1836, in
Paris – 19 May 1926) was a French
archaeologist, known for his research involving the
Eleusinian Mysteries. He was the father of
Egyptologist
Georges Foucart.
Beginning in 1855 he studied at the
École Normale Supérieure in Paris, obtaining his
agrégation in 1858. Afterwards, he taught classes at the
Lycée Charlemagne (from 1865) and at the
Lycée Bonaparte (from 1868). In 1874 he became a lecturer at
Collège de France, where in 1877 he was appointed professor of
epigraphy and Greek antiquities. In 1878 he was elected a member of the
Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres, replacing
Joseph Naudet, and during the same year, was named director of the
French School at Athens.
