EspañolBRITISH SCHOOL AT ATHENS
The 'British School at Athens' was created in 1886 in Athens, Greece, as a home for British Classical scholars working abroad. It is now a major international center for Classical scholarship and houses one of the world's foremost classical libraries.
In 1878, Sir Richard Claverhouse Jebb, the Professor of Greek at the University of Glasgow (later to become the Regius Professor of Greek at the University of Cambridge), proposed the idea of a British research institute to be based in Athens. He was impressed by the French and German institutes that were already established there.
