Augustus Chapman Merriam (born 1843 in Locust Grove, New York; died January 19, 1895, in Athens, Greece) was an American Classical scholar and epigraphist. [1]
Merriam studied first at Columbia Grammar School and then matriculated at Columbia College (now Columbia University in New York City). He graduated in 1866 and then was appointed Tutor of Latin and Greek at Columbia in 1868, a post he held until 1876, at which point he then focused solely on ancient Greek. [2]
In 1886-1887 Merriam was president of the American Philological Association and in 1887-1888 Merriam was director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. [3]
