Simone Follet

Simone Follet (23 January 1935 – 16 February 2021) was a French epigrapher and philologist, specialising in Roman Greece, especially Athens.

In 1955, she enrolled in the École normale supérieure de jeunes filles in Sèvres, studying literature.

After her graduation in 1958, Follet worked at the University of Clermont-Ferrand until 1961, when she returned to the École normale supérieure to study Ancient Greek philology and literature.

[1] Follet also worked on imperial-period Greek literature and philosophy, especially the second Sophistic author Philostratus, publishing the standard French edition of his Heroicus in 2017[1][3] and collaborating with Bernadette Peuch on a standard edition of his Lives of the Sophists, which will be published posthumously.

She also contributed to work on a standard edition of Callistratus's Descriptions and provided entries for the Dictionnaire des Philosophes Antiques.
