Reprint of Torres Esbarranch 1990-1992, with a new preface by José Lasso de la Vega (1928-1996), classical philologist. Lasso de la Vega completed his doctorate in 1951 with a thesis on nominal sentence structure in Homer. Later, he also earned a doctorate in Political Science. He pursued further studies in Hamburg. In 1952, he was appointed to the Chair of Greek at the University of La Laguna, and in 1954 he returned to Madrid, where he worked for several years as a secondary-school teacher and university lecturer. From 1970, he served as Professor of Greek Philology at the Complutense University of Madrid, where he mentored a generation of classical scholars, including several translators of Thucydides into Spanish, such as Luis Miguel Macía Aparicio and Antonio Guzmán Guerra. In 1971, he co-founded the journal Cuadernos de Filología Clásica.
