In an essay do you underline a Greek Tragedy?

You don't underline a Greek tragedy in an essay. Here's why:

* Titles of Works: The standard rule in academic writing is to italicize titles of long works like novels, plays, movies, albums, etc. Greek tragedies are plays, so they fall under this category.

* Proper Nouns: Greek tragedies often have proper nouns in their titles, such as *Antigone* or *Oedipus Rex*. Proper nouns are capitalized but not italicized.

Example:

Instead of writing "I read Sophocles' *Oedipus Rex* last week," you would write:

"I read Sophocles' *Oedipus Rex* last week."

Key Points:

* Italics for Long Works: Use italics for titles of plays, novels, movies, albums, etc.

* Proper Nouns: Capitalize proper nouns, even within titles.
