My name is José M. Ciordia. I am a teacher of Ancient Greek at a secondary school in Zaragoza, Spain. I am not a specialist in any area of Classical Studies, but I like reading about many topics. I am a Yacht Master as well, although low experienced, and I took part in some sailing trips, always in the Mediterranean. My personal web is jmc.
