Alfred Croiset (1845-1923), classical philologist. Croiset studied at the École normale supérieure (1864-1867) and earned his doctorate at the Sorbonne with a thesis on Xenophon (1873). He taught in several French lycées before joining the Sorbonne as maître de conférences in 1877 and becoming Professor in 1885. From 1898 to 1919, Croiset served as Dean of the Faculté des lettres. A member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres from 1886, he was also made a Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor. His research focused on Greek literature, especially Plato, Pindar, Thucydides, Xenophon, and Aristophanes. Together with his brother Maurice, he co-authored the widely circulated Histoire de la littérature grecque. His educational reforms and views on democratic culture provoked debate in French intellectual circles. DBCS
