Linnér studied classical philology at Uppsala University, completing his doctorate in 1943 with a dissertation on the Historia Lausiaca of Palladius; he subsequently became professor of Greek language and literature. Alongside his academic training, Linnér pursued an international career in diplomacy and public service, including senior roles in Swedish industry and service as head of the United Nations civilian mission in the Congo during the Congo Crisis (1960-1961). Linnér published on Greek history, international affairs, and contemporary history. Besides Thucydides' History, he also translated Livy.
