Juan José Torres Esbarranch (20th century-), classical scholar and translator. In addition to Thucydides, he translated Diodorus Siculus, Herodian, and Cassius Dio – these translations were published as part of the Biblioteca Clásica Gredos, a Spanish series founded in 1977 that presents Spanish versions of Greco‑Roman Classics accompanied by scholarly introductions, explanatory notes, and indices.

Four volumes: vol. 1 (Books 1-2), vol. 2 (Books 3-4), vol. 3 (Books 5-6), vol. 4 (Books 7-8).

Reprint of Torres Esbarranch 1990-1992, with a new preface by Juan Carlos Iglesias-Zoido (1964-), Professor of Greek Philology at the University of Extremadura. Iglesias-Zoido research focuses primarily on the relationship between rhetoric and historiography from Antiquity to the Renaissance, and on the reception of the classical tradition in the modern world. This reissue of Torres Esbarranch's translation forms part of the Nueva Biblioteca Clásica Gredos, a revised edition of 150 works selected from the Biblioteca Clásica Gredos catalogue.
