Erwin Rohde
German classical philologist (1845–1898)
Erwin Rohde (German:[ˈʀoːdə]; 9 October 1845 – 11 January 1898) was one of the great German classical scholars of the 19th century.

Rohde's major study on the Greek novel, Der griechische Roman und seine Vorläufer, appeared in 1876. Its second edition (1900), prepared by Fritz Scholl, contains as an appendix an address given by Rohde in 1875, in which he suggests the desirability of further study of the book's tentative thesis: that the animal fables and many other tales from India and other parts of Asia originated in Greece and, much later, found their way back to the West, where speculations about their Asian origin began. A third edition of this work was published in 1914, prepared by Wilhelm Schmidt, and a fourth was released in 1961, reflecting an ongoing interest in the
