How to cite Herodotus' "Histories" in Pleiades references.
Standard abbreviation: Hdt. Hist.
Preferred Citation
When citing Herodotus with a link to the Greek text in the Perseus Digital Library (preferred method), indicate the Perseus edition as follows:
| short title | Hdt. (Godley: Perseus) |
|---|---|
| citation detail | 8.94 |
| formatted citation | Herodotus, Histories, 8.94. Digital version in Perseus Digital Library online: A.D. Godley (ed.), Herodotus, Loeb Classical Library, London; New York, 1921. |
| bibliographic URI | http://data.perseus.org/catalog/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0016.tlg001 |
| access URI | http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0016.tlg001.perseus-grc1:8.94 |
| alternate URI | |
| other identifier |
Canonical Citation Only
When citing Herodotus canonically (i.e., without specifying a particular edition):
| short title | Hdt. |
|---|---|
| citation detail | 8.94 |
| formatted citation | Herodotus, Histories 8.94 |
| bibliographic URI | http://data.perseus.org/catalog/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0016.tlg001 |
| access URI | |
| alternate URI | |
| other identifier |
Citing a Specific Edition Only Available in Print
When specifically citing a print-only edition of Herodotus (i.e., because Godley as it appears in Perseus is somehow inferior or defective in a relevant way):
| short title | Hdt. (modern editor's last name) |
|---|---|
| citation detail | 8.94 |
| formatted citation | Herodotus, Histories, 8.94. Edition: edition citation using Pleiades style. |
| bibliographic URI | pleiades zotero URI for the modern edition cited |
| access URI | worldcat permalink |
