Life
[edit]After studying at the École normale supérieure, Radet passed the agrégation in 1884 and joined the French School of Athens in the same year. Specialising in Asia, he travelled the continent on numerous occasions and in 1892 defended his doctoral thesis titled "La Lydie et le monde grec au temps de Mermnades, 687-546" [Lydia and the Greek world at the time of Mermnades, 687-546].
Between 1888 and 1934, he taught at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Bordeaux, and was dean of the faculty from 1899 to 1919. He was awarded the Prix Kastner-Boursault in 1902.
