Arion (journal)

Last updated

History

Arion was founded [1] under the auspices of classicist and translator William Arrowsmith [2] at the University of Texas at Austin in 1962. Additional founding editors included D.S. Carne-Ross, J.P. Sullivan, and Frederic Will. [2] It ran for nine volumes as a quarterly at UT until 1972 [1] and was again revived by Arrowsmith in 1973 at Boston University, where it ran for three more volumes as a quarterly (New Series 1–3) before being discontinued.

Arion was revived in 1990 under Herbert Golder, and as of 2024 has published 32 volumes as a triquarterly (Third Series 1-32). [3] In 2004, the journal was awarded the American Philological Association's inaugural Outreach Award for bringing classics to readers outside the academy. Then president of the APA, Elaine Fantham, stated that "Arion is the one journal I would most want to show friends outside of the Classics to demonstrate our exuberant variety of form and content, and its continued vitality."
