History

Arion was founded[1] under the auspices of classicist and translator William Arrowsmith.[2] 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 revived by Arrowsmith in the 1970s at Boston University, where it ran for three more volumes as a quarterly (new series 1–3) before being discontinued. It was revived in 1992 under Herbert Golder, and has through 2014 published 22 volumes as a triquarterly (third series 1-22).[3][4][5]
