citing

I'm always confused as to where the punctuation goes after a citation.

Like this:


Achilles slanders Agamemnon, saying “Never once did you arm with the troops and go to battle […] you lack the courage” (85).

or

Achilles slanders Agamemnon, saying “Never once did you arm with the troops and go to battle […] you lack the courage”. (85)

The period goes after the page number in quotations, like your first example. (It was on "The Iliad Prehash" sheet.)
