Pearson, (1917) II, 9; for the fostering, he cites Ahrens, for the satyrs, Wilamowitz GGN =Nachrichten der Königlichen Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen Philological-historical section 1895:237, which is "Hephaistos" in Wilamowitz's Kleine Schiften V.2 pp.5-35; but Pearson finds both doubtful.
It was the birthplace (1848) of the well-known German Classical Philologist Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, born of a German aristocratic family.
Wilamowitz-Moellendorff was born in Markowitz (Markowice), a small village near Hohensalza (Inowrocław), in the then Province of Posen (at present part of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship), to a Germanized family of distant Polish ancestry.
The classical scholar John Edwin Sandys, in his A History of Classical Scholarship (1908), wrote of Headlam, "Only nine days before his death, he had the pleasure of meeting Wilamowitz, who, in the course of his brief visit to Cambridge, said of some of Walter Headlam's Greek verses that, if they had been discovered in an Egyptian papyrus, they would immediately have been recognised by all scholars as true Greek poetry".
