Angelos Vlachos (1915-2003), writer, translator, and diplomat. Born in Alexandria, Vlachos studied Law at the University of Athens. After completing his legal education, he entered the Greek diplomatic service in 1939, serving his country in various posts until his retirement in 1974. During World War II he fought at the Albanian front and, after being imprisoned by German forces in 1943, he escaped to join the Greek government in exile in Cairo. Vlachos combined his diplomatic career with a literary and scholarly output. He published several historical novels, essays, memoirs, and literary works, and he was particularly active in translating key works of ancient Greek literature for modern Greek readers. His translations include writings by Aristotle, Aeschylus, and Thucydides.
