Adolf Kaegi (1849-1923) studied ancient languages and Indology, and taught both at the University of Zurich. While there, he assisted in revising Eduard Benseler's Greek-German dictionary and George Authenrieth's dictionary companion to the Homeric poems. In 1884, his first grammar for German students of Greek was published. Kaegi authored Kurzgefasste Griechische Schulgrammatik, which was translated into English as A Short Grammar of Classical Greek by James A. Kleist (B. Herder Book Co., 1926) and reprinted as Kaegi's Greek Grammar (Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers, 1995); he also coauthored with James A. Kleist Greek Readings for Review (first published 1902; reprinted by Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers, 2002).
