1. Bibliography & Citations

Your paper must have a proper bibliography page at the end (the bibliography page does not count towards the page total). The bibliography must contain all the information about each source you used. It must include the author’s name (last name first), the year the book was published, the title of the book (in italics), and the publisher. For a journal article, you must include the author’s name, year published, title (in quotation marks), the name of the journal (in italics), and page numbers. For primary sources either include the above information from the book along with the name of the translator or the information from the website where you found the source.

In your paper, all references and quotes must have proper citations. Since there will be a full citation in the bibliography you do not need a full citation in each citation. Instead in the citations only include the author’s name and the page number where you found your information. If the citation is from a primary source include the author’s name and page or chapter number. When trying to decide when to quote the sources, a few “rules of thumb” are useful. You should always cite the sources if you are using information from them that you did not already know (again don’t cite the lectures). Additionally, cite the sources or offer quotations when you think they enrich or support your point. For instance, if you are describing the cruelty of a particular ruler, offer a quote from a source that would make your point. Imagine that you were reading your paper in a presentation and think of the quotes as if they were pictures: whenever you would want to show the audience a picture to make your point or give them a better idea of what you mean, then add a quote. If you are making claims that may be controversial, then quotes/citations are even more important. Chicago, APA or MLA formatting are all OK (just make sure to pick 1 system & stick to it).

2. The reference of articles from JSTOR must be at least 15 pages long.

So these can not be used:

· Evans, J. A. S. (1976). Herodotus and the Ionian Revolt. Historia: Zeitschrift Für Alte Geschichte, 25(1), 31–37. http://www.jstor.org/stable/4435483 .

· Lang, M. (1968). Herodotus and the Ionian revolt. Historia: Zeitschrift für Alte Geschichte, (H. 1), 24-36.

3. We need at least 2 primary sources.

We got the first primary source:

· Rawlinson, H. C., & Wilkinson, J. G. (1861). The history of Herodotus (Vol. 1).

And we need 1 more primary source.
