It's Open Access Week and VIVA is excited to announce the publication of the James A. Arieti Open Access Collection, which features six well-respected classics titles:

• Discourses on the First Book of Herodotus
• Interpreting Plato: The Dialogues as Drama
• Longinus, On the Sublime: Translated into English

• The Dating of Longinus
• Hamartia: the Concept of Error in the Western Tradition: Essays in Honor of John M. Crossett, edited by Donald V. Stump; James A. Arieti; Lloyd Gerson; and Eleonore Stump

Books in the collection were previously published; the rights have been reverted to the author, who has now released them under a Creative Commons License in an effort to ensure they continue to be available to scholars and students for years to come. Users can read the books online via VIVA's Pressbooks or download the books as a PDF or EPUB.
