Academic Search Premier
Indexes selected scholarly and popular periodicals from a wide range of subject areas, including some in the classics. If you want to limit to scholarly journals, use the check box that reads Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals.

MLA
International Bibliography
This is an index to literary criticism, but does not have ancient
Greek and Latin authors as a primary part of its scope. If you search
with the keyword plato, for example, you would find articles
in which Plato is discussed in comparison with other modern writers,
but not articles focusing solely on Plato.
