A solid-catalyst component for use in the polymerization of α-olefins obtained by
   reducing a titanium compound represented by the following general formula:
        Ti(OR¹) n x 4-n
wherein R¹ represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, X represents a halogen atom and n represents a number satisfying 0
   treating the solid product with an ester compound,
   treating the ester-treated solid product with a mixture of an ether compound and titanium tetrachloride or with a mixture of an ether compound, titanium tetrachloride and an ester compound to obtain a trivalent titanium compound-containing solid catalyst precursor, and
   treating the solid catalyst precursor with a small quantity of an olefin in the presence of an organoaluminum compound to obtain a solid catalyst component for use in the polymerization of α-olefins.
