Philosopher Stephen Menn (McGill University) writes:
Paul Kalligas, Παύλος Καλλιγάς (1948-2025) [was] the leading scholar of Greek philosophy in Greece itself and an inspiration to a whole generation of younger (although no longer so young) Greek scholars. He was most famous for his modern Greek translation and commentary on Plotinus' Enneads, the work of decades: the first two of three volumes of an English translation of his commentary have appeared from Princeton University Press. But he also translated and commented on many other Greek philosophical texts, and also translated some modern Western scholarship on ancient Greek philosophy into modern Greek. He was an important figure in the international community of Plotinus scholars—there is nothing in any language that really rivals his commentary—and a wonderful conversation-partner and mentor.

Comments are open for remembrances from those who knew Professor Kalligas, or for those who would also like to comment on the significance of his work.
