Jordi Redondo Sanchez

Jordi Redondo Sánchez is a Professor in the Department of Classical Phil at the University of Valencia, where he is affiliated with the Faculty of Philology, Translation and Communication. His academic work centers on Greek Philology, with a strong emphasis on classical reception, ancient Greek literature, and translation studies, particularly in Catalan and Iberian contexts.

His research interests include Hellenistic poetry, epigram, tragedy, rhetoric, linguistic analysis of classical texts, and the transmission of classical culture through medieval and modern literature. He is a member of two research groups: the GIRLC (Research Group on the Reception of Classical Literatures) and GIRHA (Resources Innovation Group in Ancient History), reflecting his interdisciplinary engagement with both literary and historical dimensions of the ancient world.

The majority of his recent publications (2021–2024) are critical reviews and literary analyses focusing on Euripides, Sophocles, Theocritus, Bion, Pausanias, and Herodotus, as well as studies on biblical translations such as the Montserrat Bible and the Interconfessional Catalan Bible. His articles often explore narrative motifs, translation variants, linguistic features, and the interplay between myth and literature across cultures and periods, demonstrating a consistent scholarly focus on philological precision and cultural continuity.

He earned his PhD from the University of Salamanca in 1986 with a thesis on the linguistic study of Antiphon’s speeches, supervised by Dr. Antonio López Eire. No scientific awards or student advisement information is mentioned in the provided texts.

His active research and publication record suggest ongoing contributions to classical scholarship, particularly in the areas of textual criticism, reception studies, and Iberian engagement with the classical tradition.
