Erwin Rohde (October 9, 1845 - January 11, 1898) was one of the great German classical scholars of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Rohde was born in Hamburg and was the son of a doctor. Outside of antiquarian circles, Rohde is known today chiefly for his friendship and correspondence with fellow-philologist Friedrich Nietzsche. The two were students together in Bonn and Leipzig, where they were studying philology taught by Friedrich Wilhelm Ritschl. In 1872, Rohde became a professor at the University of Kiel. He later was professor in Jena (1876), Tübingen (1878) and finally Heidelberg, where he died in 1898.
His Psyche remains a standard reference work for Greek cult practices and beliefs related to the soul.
