Doing Research: Sources

When you write a paper in Classics, you will most likely be writing a research paper and use a variety of sources, including ancient cultural productions (e.g., ancient texts, artifacts, etc.), as well as modern scholarship that discusses these ancient sources. Make sure you check out our sections on Primary Sources, Secondary Sources, Reference Sources, and Commentaries to understand how to effectively use each category.
