Chariton Charitonidis (Greek: Χαρίτων Χαριτωνίδης; born 1878 Makri, Asia Minor [today Fethiye, Turkey] – died 8 or 9 May 1954, Athens, Greece) was a Greek classical philologist, professor at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and member of the Academy of Athens.[1][2][3]
Life
[edit]Chariton Charitonidis was born in Makri, Asia Minor. He was educated at the Pythagorian Gymnasium of Samos, but graduated from the 3rd Gymnasium of Athens. He then studied philology at the University of Athens. There he was associated with the circle of Professor Konstantinos S. Kontos. He received his degree in 1902. In 1909 he was awarded a Ph.D. of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Athens. In 1907 he was appointed to Arsakeio where he remained until 1926.
In 1926 Chariton Charitonidis became professor at the University of Thessaloniki. He was the first to teach Ancient Greek at this newly founded university. He was the one who inspired the word emblem of the university «Μούσαις Χάρισι Θῦε» (="Sacrifice to the Muses and Graces").[4] He retired in 1940, having been a dean of the School of Philosophy twice. In 1948 he was elected a full member of the Academy of Athens. He died at the age of 76 from a heart attack.
