As the title suggests, the paper gives explicitly all lines of a cubic surface starting from three skew lines. The method used is classical projective geometry. That is, the authors fix three skew lines in \(\mathbb P^3_{\mathbb C}\), and a generic cubic polynomial \(f\) whose zero locus is a smooth surface containing the three lines. All lines of the surface are obtained, explicitly, in terms of the coefficients of \(f\). This result extends to any other smooth surface using a projective transformation. Finally, the authors get a complete classification of the number of lines of any real smooth cubic surface containing an elliptic line.
