Sources and citations

Quick note on the sources format. The clean up was designed to reduce the terrible clutter and obscurity of the citations, aiming for clean and clear. This means that a book should only be given once in the sources list. This is important if we cite from different parts of a volume. In an article such as this, from one book, we might want to refer to the translation of a play (say, Ajax in a collection of Sophocles' plays), we might also want to refer to an introduction that may be written by someone other than the editor (the confusion of which made for some mis-attributions in the old version), we might want to refer to editorial notes or glosses. In each case, the same book is cited, but different authors within it. So, for example, Scully, James. 2011. Introduction. In Bagg and Scully (2011, 3-12). No need here to give the title of the book/volume, since it is given under the entry for Baggs and Scully (Bagg, Robert and James Scully, eds. 2011. The Complete Plays of Sophocles: A New Translation. By Sophocles. New York: Harper. ISBN  978-0062020345.) The title of that volume should not be duplicated in the first entry.

Worth mentioning too WP:BUNDLING--just one note at the end of a sentence is required for all the info in that sentence.

Also, the format adopted is MLA author-date. This makes it Aristotle (2015, 3), rather than Aristotle (2015, p.3) or variations along those lines.  • DP •   {huh?} 03:36, 16 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Additional sources

As this appears to be an article undergoing active revision and expansion, I will note here that the English Wikisource includes a Portal:Ancient Greek drama that includes sources not utilized here.

Among the offerings listed there is an 1871 book by Clifton Wilbraham Collins entitled Sophocles, which consists primarily of short summaries of each play, and with chapter 5 " The Death of Ajax" covering this play. There is also Connop Thirwall's classic article " On the Irony of Sophocles", which includes a section analyzing the Ajax. -- EncycloPetey ( talk) 00:55, 17 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Theater of War project

I've listed some possibly useful sources below on modern productions/adaptations of Ajax – as well as Philoctetes – as part of Bryan Doerries' 'Theater of War' project. The last three are reviews of Doerries' book of the same name. — Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 15:15, 6 January 2017 (UTC) (updated 23:39, 24 September 2017 (UTC)) reply
