Edward Perry Warren
He received his BA from Harvard College in 1883 and later studied classical archeology at New College, Oxford.[1] At Oxford he met archeologist John Marshall (1862–1928), a younger man he called "Puppy,"[2] with whom he formed a close and long-lasting relationship, though Marshall married in 1907, much to Warren's dismay.[2] Beginning in 1888, Warren made England his primary home. He and Marshall lived together at Lewes House, a large residence in Lewes, East Sussex, where they became the center of a circle of like-minded men interested in art and antiquities who ate together in a dining room overlooked by Lucas Cranach's Adam and Eve, now in the Courtauld Institute. One account said that "Warren's attempts to produce a supposedly Greek and virile way of living into his Sussex home" produced "a comic mixture of apparently monastic severity (no tea or soft chairs allowed) and lavish living."[3]
Warren is best known as the owner of the Warren Cup, now in the British Museum.
