Classics Department Citation Style Recommendation

MLA or Chicago are fine for classics, as long as the student is consistent.

Writing Guidelines

For abbreviations, students should follow L'Annee Philologique and the Oxford Latin Dictionary (SAWYER REF PA2365.E5 O9 1968) and Liddell-Scott-Jones Greek Lexicon. (SAWYER REF PA445.E5 L6 1940 Rev. Suppl)

We usually expect arguments to be based on textual and/or material evidence.
