Myths of the Sands is a copyright of Jimmy Joe, the creator of this website on mythology.

I will allow uses for educational and personal purposes only. And with certain conditions applied.

Students may quote from Myths of the Sands, provided that they do not copy a whole article or page, or worse, the entire site.

One of the conditions that I must stress out to people when citing other people's work, is to provide information of where they got the information from. This information should list the name (title) of book or page or the website, the author's name and where it can be found (eg. URL address of the page, or the book's publisher), and place the details, either directly below the quote, or in the notes or footnotes, or in the bibliography.

To avoid caught cheating from plagarism by teachers, or worse, being sued for copyright abuse, it is best to keep quotations at the minimum, and always provide your list of sources in your bibliography or footnotes.

If you read a particular book or you are quoting from a book, like The Epic of Gilgamesh for an example, you may include the following detail:

You may additionally provide page numbers, or chapters. How much detail you put in your bibliography and how you would arrange the detail (eg. author's name first, then title in the second line, or the other way around; just be consistent), is up to you. Ask your teacher.

Listing your sources from website is only slightly different to having bibliography on books. You will need to include the site title, the site owner and the URL. This is the minimum requirement when using webpages as your primary or secondary source.

Below is an example of citing the source:

That's the minimum amount of information you should provide in your bibliography.

If you visited only division of Myths of the Sands, for example Mesopotamian Mythology, then your source may look something like this:

You may want to add the titles of the pages that you have used, and the individual URL address of each page:

This tell your teacher where exactly you have got the myth from.
