Arion: A Journal of Humanities and the Classics is a literary journal of ancient Greek, Roman, and Mediterranean studies and classical tradition. It is published triennially by Boston University. Arion seeks to publish poetry, translation, critical and literary essays, creative writing, book reviews, and visual art that captures the interest of readers both inside and outside of professional academia.
The Director and Editor-in-Chief of Arion, Herbert Golder, is Professor of Classics at Boston University and noted filmmaker. In 1992, he was awarded the Council of Editors of Learned Journals Pheonix Award for Significant Editorial Achievement for revitalizing the journal.
The Editorial Board at Arion is composed of prominent poets, scholars, and intellectuals such as Robert Alter, Paul Barolsky, Anne Carson, Raymond Guess, Glenn W. Most, Martha Nussbaum, Camille Paglia, Michael C.J. Putnam, and Oliver Taplin. Brandon Jones is managing editor.
The non-profit journal is supported by Boston University College of Arts and Sciences, individual donors, and institutional and individual subscribers. It is electronically hosted by Project Muse; earlier issues are archived on JSTOR. Print subscriptions are available directly from the journal.
