    • make sure you include the following--the title of the ancient work in italics, the numbering from the ancient work, the modern author, the page number in the modern book
    • it is probably best to work some of these into your main body text instead of saving them for the citation itself
    • example 1: In the Homeric Hymn to Apollo, Delos bargains with Leto so that Delos will be honored with an important temple to Apollo (60-84, Powell, 171-172).
    • example 2: In the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite, 222-223, "Eos, poor foolish lady, neglected to ask that her lover might never be subject to aging" (Powell, 87).

  • Citing from Leonard & McClure's book: Give the first author and the page number, e.g. (Leonard, 70)

  • to save paper, don't put on a separate page
  • in the same font and point size as your main text
  • use hanging indents
  • use MLA 7th edition (see syllabus for how the entries for our textbooks should look)
  • entries for classical texts from Powell's book should list ancient author first, if there is one, then the work (in italics), then the translator, ... Here is an example: Homeric Hymn to Demeter. Trans. by Herbert M. Howe. In Classical Myth. 7th edit. Barry B. Powell. Boston: Pearson. 2012. Print.

  • print this out and bring this to your writing lab conference and have the tutor sign here: ______________________________________

Write on the following topic:

Apply Malinowski's theory to the Homeric Hymn of Demeter or Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite (use only the parts of the hymns given in Powell's text). In your introduction state clearly, concisely, and completely what the theory is (don't forget to cite your source(s)). Make sure you give good concrete examples from the Homeric Hymn you chose and that you provide in-text citations for every example.
