- Citing the music video:
- if you give the artist's name and the name of the song/video in your opening paragraph, then no in-text citations are needed. Just make sure you have concrete examples from the music video.
- Citing Catullus' poem:
- in your opening paragraph indicate that you are examining Catullus Poems 61 from Shelton's book, pages 40-42.
- every time you need an in-text citation, just give the line numbers from the poem (see the pdf in Canvas) in parentheses at the end of the sentence.
- Citing primary sources (from Greco-Roman World):
- basic rule: ancient author (if there is one), ancient work (in italics), number of work (if given or appropriate), modern author, page number(s)
- parts of these may be given in your sentence versus the in-text citation
- Example 1a: The noise in ancient Rome would be a reason not to visit as it would be hard to get a good night’s sleep (Martial, Epigrams 12.57, Shelton, 70).
- Example 1b: Martial mention in Epigram 12.57 that it was so noisy he wasn’t able to sleep at all while staying in Rome, so, when he wanted a good night’s sleep, he went to his mansion in the countryside (Shelton, 70)!
- Works Cited “Page” reminders:

- in the same font as your main text
- use hanging indents
- Entry for Shelton's book: same as on the on-line syllabus
- Entry for music video: see Purdue's OWL (click here). If you scroll down, they cover YouTube videos. But also include: Accessed. (date you accessed the video)
