Maximiliaan August Schwartz (1884-1973), classical scholar and translator, known for translations of major Greek and Latin authors, including Homer, Vergil, Plato, Thucydides, and Apuleius. Born in Doetinchem to Dr. Carl Schwartz, rector of the local gymnasium, Schwartz studied at Leiden University and taught at several Dutch gymnasia, later serving as rector at Assen and Nijmegen. He earned his doctorate in 1917 and continued teaching after retirement, including a year at the Catholic University of Nijmegen. His translations, published mainly post-retirement, were widely reprinted and remain influential.

Schwart's translation was revised by Kassies in 2013 – see Kassies 2013.
