AUTHOR GUIDELINES
Title, abstract and keywords
The title of the article or note should be indicative of the paper’s content. The title should be followed by a brief abstract (no more than 300 words) of the paper’s main argument and conclusions. Do not include references or notes in this abstract. The abstract should appear before the main text of the paper and after the title. A list of key words for the paper (maximum 10) should follow the abstract. Electryonê offers an online index of key words that will enable users to locate themes and articles easily. The title and abstract of your paper will appear on a separate index.
Presentation. Articles, notes and reviews must adhere to the following guidelines:
• Transliteration of Greek should be limited to single words or phrases of two or three words; transliteration of longer phrases sentences should be avoided. All Greek must be typed. Greek proper names may be spelled in either the Greek or the Latinized form, so long as the use is consistent.
• Quotations that are longer than two lines of verse or several lines of prose should be presented as indented double-spaced extracts (block quotations).
Long extracts should be avoided unless the precise wording of the passage quoted is crucial to the argument. Authors should incorporate all quotations smoothly into their own texts. Translations of longer passages of Greek or Latin should cite the source of the translation if it is not the author.
• Italics should be reserved for words and phrases in foreign languages (including all Latin not in block quotations) and the titles of ancient works or modern books and journals. The use of italics for emphasis should be avoided.
• The author is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all references to primary and secondary materials.
• References to primary sources should be treated as follows:
(a) In the body of the text, references should include, where appropriate, the unabbreviated name of the author, the full title of the work, and the book, line, or other necessary numbers. Arabic numerals should be used throughout. References must be inclusive, with first and last lines, etc., cited; “f.” and “ff.”
should be avoided, e.g.:
Aeschylus Agamemnon 14-27, 100-106, 1125-30.
(b) To prevent the accumulation of a large number of very short notes, references to primary sources that are not accompanied by additional remarks or citations may be given in parentheses in the text. (c) In parenthetical references and in the notes, the author’s name and the title of the work should be abbreviated according to the list of abbreviations found in the “Abbreviations” section of the Oxford Classical Dictionary3 (pp. xxixliv).
• References to secondary literature should appear only in footnotes and only as each item becomes relevant. The preferred style for secondary references is:
author, date, pages in the notes with a list of cited literature at the end of the article
• Titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the list found under “submissions” on the website of the American Journal of Archaeology
(http://www.ajaonline.org), supplemented by the list found in L’Année philologique.
• All page references must be inclusive.
• Examples of citations:
a) A book or monograph cited in the notes:
Holmes (1923) 297.
The same in the list of cited works at the end of the article:
Holmes, T. R. 1923. The Roman Republic. Vol. 1. Oxford.
b) A journal or encyclopedia article cited in the notes:
