from an eassy on Prynne's "Blue Slides at Rest":

The name of the main Dutch historian I'm thinking of escapes me, he wrote a book on greek mythology when exiled from the nazis, but it was as epic as Huzinga or another Dutch theorist.
Makes more sense as Greece was occupied in WW2.It took me a couple of weeks to think of his name, but I meant Erich Auerbach. Was thrown off the scent by thinking he was Dutch exiled to Greece, not German in Turkey. I read Mimesis a long time ago.
