Rudolf Hercher (Latin: Rudolphus Hercher; 11 January 1821 – 26 March 1878) was a German classical philologist, who worked as a grammar school teacher in Rudolstadt (1847–1859) and Berlin (1861–1878). He is especially known for his textual criticism of diverse Greek authors and was considered the successor of Anton Westermann.[1][2] He opposed the theories of William Gell that the events described in Greek epics, such as the Odyssey, were true historical events.[1]
