Editing Heinrich Schliemann (section)

==Personal life==
After learning that his childhood sweetheart Minna had married, Schliemann married Ekaterina Petrovna Lyschin (1826–1896) on October 12, 1852. She was the niece of one of his wealthy friends in St Petersburg and they had three children; a son, Sergey (1855–1941), and two daughters, Natalya (1859–1869) and Nadezhda (1861–1935).<ref name=Allen/> As a consequence of his many travels, Schliemann was often separated from his wife and children. He spent a month studying at the [[University of Paris|Sorbonne]] in 1866 while moving his assets from St. Petersburg to Paris to invest in real estate. He asked his wife to join him, but she refused.{{sfn|Allen|1999|p=114}}

Schliemann threatened to divorce Ekaterina twice before doing so. In 1869, he bought property and settled in [[Indianapolis]] for about three months to take advantage of [[Indiana]]'s liberal divorce laws, although he obtained the divorce by lying about his residency in the U.S. and his intention to remain in the state. He moved to Athens as soon as an Indiana court granted him the divorce and married again two months later.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Taylor |first1=Stephen J. |title="So She Went": Heinrich Schliemann Came to Marion County for a "Copper Bottom Divorce" |url=https://blog.newspapers.library.in.gov/so-she-went-heinrich-schliemann-came-to-marion-county-for-a-copper-bottom-divorce/ |website=Hoosier State Chronicles: Indiana's Digital Newspaper Program |access-date=8 June 2019 |date=11 March 2015}}</ref>

A former teacher and Athenian friend, Theokletos Vimpos, the Archbishop of Mantineia and Kynouria, helped Schliemann find someone "enthusiastic about Homer and about a rebirth of my beloved Greece...with a Greek name and a soul impassioned for learning." The archbishop suggested the 17-year-old [[Sophia Schliemann|Sophia Engastromenos]], daughter of his cousin. They were married by the archbishop on 23 September 1869. They later had two children, Andromache and [[Agamemnon Schliemann]].<ref name=leo/>{{rp|90–91,159–163}}
