citing. again.

When citing many phrases from one book (specifically book 18), is it necessary to put a page number next to each phrase or can I just put book 18 as a reference at the end of the sentence along with the series of page number? ex: (bk 18, p. 483-486)

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)

Long-Form Quote

Is it possible to cite a large body of text, provided that you thoroughly analyze it both rhetorically and thematically?

Another question.

If, in a single sentence, you use quotations from two different pages in the book, how do you cite that?
for example:

Homer shows that warriors are "wolves" and "mountain lions" (417, 335).

or something else?

(this is not a real sentence from my paper, just an example.) Anyone who knows or has an idea is welcome to answer. I appreciate it! Thank you :]

Quotations within quotations?

When I'm using something that a character says as evidence, do I do the extra quotation marks or not? So is it

"'...they’d soon run for their lives...if only the mighty Agamemnon met me with respect'"

or

"...they'd soon run for their lives...if only the mighty Agamemnon met me with respect"

Last year a teacher told me that I shouldn't do the extra quotation marks, and now I'm just confused.
