Classical Abbreviations

Classical Authors and Their Works

By N.S. Gill
Updated August 24, 2018

There are certain standard abbreviations used in connection with the

authors and their works in Classics. While I generally spell out the names
and works of ancient authors, it is not always possible. Besides, you'll find
the abbreviations elsewhere. The following is a list of the ancient, non-
Biblical writers and their works that you are likely to encounter during your
study of Classics. I'll elaborate the first sets of abbreviations and a few
throughout the list that might be puzzling.

• Aesch. Ag.: Aeschylus, Agamemnon. The author comes first; his work
comes next, so this abbreviation means Aeschylus, a tragic playwright,
wrote a tragedy called Agamemnon.
