Introduction by Julio Calonge Ruiz (1914-2012), classicist, linguist, and translator. A founding member of the publisher Editorial Gredos, Calonge Ruiz played a central role in establishing the Biblioteca Clásica Gredos, a landmark Spanish-language series of annotated translations of Greco-Roman texts and classical scholarship. He also taught Greek language and literature at both the secondary and university levels. His translation work includes Caesar's De bello civili, Plato's Gorgias, and major studies by Martinet, Bengtson, and Curchin.
