Hermathena is a biannual peer-reviewed academic journal of the classical world published by Trinity College Dublin, under the auspices of the Department of Classics in the School of Histories and Humanities. It was established in 1873 and is now one of the longest-running classical journals in the world.
The founder of the journal was Robert Yelverton Tyrrell (1844-1914). (for see also: digital copy at Internet Archive). Jeffares gives 1874 as the first year of Hermathena. This might be explained by the fact that the title page of the first issue also says 1874 (in contrast to the cover). See He was the first editor-in-chief.
Since 2012 the editor-in-chief is professor Monica Gale.
