Biography

Born in 1933, Garlan studied at the École normale supérieure[2] and earned an agrégation in history.[3] A specialist in the Hellenistic period, he was a professor at Rennes 2 University. His research led to the expansion of knowledge on Ancient Greek slavery, the Greek wars, and the amphoric stamp. His studies on the stamp systems of Thasos, Sinope, and Heraclea Pontica were highly notable.

In February 1979, Garlan was one of 34 signatories of a declaration written by Léon Poliakov Pierre Vidal-Naquet to dismantle the historical negationism of Robert Faurisson.[4] In 1991, he became a correspondent of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres.[5]

Yvon Garlan died on 8 July 2022 at the age of 88.[6]
