Other search tips:
One minute guides:
Ajax - Etrurian red-figured calyx-krater, ca. 400–350 BC. In the British Museum.
Use Brill's New Pauly or the Oxford Classical Dictionary to find mythological or general historical information, such as, When was the plague at Athens?
Use Encyclopedia of Greek Tragedy to look up characters in plays, dates and plots, "hybris" and other special terms, meter, props, costumes, theaters, etc.
To find articles full-text use JSTOR; use l'Annee Philologique to find citations (with summaries) to more sources. You can search for them through the OneSearch catalog, or in WorldCat for Interlibrary Loan.
**When searching JSTOR, use Search > Advanced Search, and limit Type to Article; also narrow the Discipline to Classical Studies. For best results, include in your search personal names of people and gods involved in your topic. Use the notes and lists of references at the end of articles to find more sources for your enquiry.
**When searching l'Annee Philologique, enter just two or three keywords in the search box. You want to cast a wider net here, because despite the "Full Text" label, l'Annee is searching only the title and abstract of the articles. In the list that emerges when you click Search, click on the hot-linked titles to get a full citation and very brief summary. Remember that l'Annee is not a full text database - you will need to look up the results in OneSearch to find whether Colby owns them.
