今年是我国著名古希腊文学学者、翻译家罗念生诞辰１００周年，为纪念这位将毕生精力献给翻译古希腊文学的翻译家，十卷本的《罗念生全集》问世，是迄今为止收集罗念生译著最全的版本。作为古希腊文学与文字专家，罗念生致力于这项工作长达６０年，翻译出版的译文和专著达五十余种，近千万字。此外，他还主编了《古希腊语——汉语词典》，为希腊文化在中国的传播贡献了巨大力量。《罗念生全集》除收录了罗念生的精彩译文(文评、文学、小说、诗歌、散文、寓言等)以及相关研究论文外，还包括他自己创作的散文诗歌以及和友人间的通信、纪念文章等。《全集》共有三百五十万言，可谓是洋洋大观。

"These authoritative translations consign all other complete collections to the wastebasket."--Robert Brustein, "The New Republic"
"This is it. No qualifications. Go out and buy it everybody."--Kenneth Rexroth, "The Nation"
"The translations deliberately avoid the highly wrought and affectedly poetic; their idiom is contemporary....They have life and speed and suppleness of phrase."--"Times Education Supplement"
"These translations belong to our time. A keen poetic sensibility repeatedly quickens them; and without this inner fire the most academically flawless rendering is dead."--Warren D. Anderson, "American Oxonian"
"The critical commentaries and the versions themselves...are fresh, unpretentious, above all, functional."--"Commonweal"
"Grene is one of the great translators."--Conor Cruise O'Brien, "London Sunday Times"
"Richmond Lattimore is that rara avis in our age, the classical scholar who is at the same time an accomplished poet."--Dudley Fitts, "New York Times Book Review"
