Arachne filled her canvas with these and like subjects, wonderfully well done, but strongly marking her presumption and impiety.

Minerva could not forbear to admire, yet felt indignant at the insult. She struck the web with her shuttle, and rent it in pieces; she then touched the forehead of Arachne, and made her feel her guilt and shame. She could not endure it, and went and hanged herself. Minerva pitied her as she saw her hanging by a rope. "Live, guilty woman," said she; "and that you may preserve the memory of this lesson, continue to hang, you and your descendants, to all future times." She sprinkled her with the juices of aconite, and immediately her hair came off, and her nose and ears likewise. Her form shrank up, and her head grew smaller yet; her fingers grew to her side, and served for legs. All the rest of her is body, out of which she spins her thread, often hanging suspended by it, in the same attitude as when Minerva touched her and transformed her into a spider. Source: Ovid. "Arachne." Project Gutenberg. Project Gutenberg, 2 Apr. 2001. Web. 25 Feb. 2011. Which purpose of mythology is illustrated by the myth of Arachne? the Initiation history the Quest religion

Which excerpt from Part 3 of The Odyssey is cited properly in MLA style? “They scrambled to their places by the rowlocks / and a
maks197457 [2]

“They scrambled to their places by the rowlocks / and all in line dipped oars in the gray sea” (Homer 6-7).

In-text MLA citations should include the author's last name and page number when available. The citation must be after the quotation, but outside of the quoted text. The citation should be in parenthesis and not include a comma between the author's last name and page number. The comma is extraneous. In order to make it clear that the parenthetical citation belongs to the quoted text and not the sentence following, there needs to be a comma after the citation - not before.
