Abbreviations for Classical Authors and Texts

Greek and Latin texts and authors are frequently abbreviated in citations (including in MLA and Chicago). For a quick reference of common abbreviations, see this guide by N. S. Gill on ThoughtCo, and see the Oxford Classical Dictionary for a more complete and authoritative source (the list of abbreviations is part of the frontmatter). Note that abbreviations should be avoided if they could lead to confusion between two or more authors!

See our citation guides and the various manuals for more complete instructions on abbreviating names and titles.
