Curated Resources for Classes in the Library Today
Welcome to the Library!
Period Two- CHW3M
Mr. Philippou’s World History class is coming in to work on their Ancient Greek Heroes assignment.
To research your selected Ancient Greek hero, you’ll need to do some digging.
Let us save you some time and use the following sites.
Greek Gods And Goddesses: This site has links for some of the major heroes of the Aegean world.
Pantheon.org: A database that can be used to navigate all things mythology.
Fordham University: The Internet Sourcebook has a great deal of documents and manuscripts for all historic periods. This particular link focuses solely on the Ancient Greek world.
The Perseus Project: From TUFTS University, this collection of cultural, historic and literary sources from the Greco-Roman world provides you with excellent material.
The Library Catalogue: The Catalogue will also will allow you on-site and remote access to our Print, Electronic and Streaming Video Collection.

Citation
For this assignment, you will be using the Chicago school of citation. Remember that includes Footnotes and a Bibliography at the end of the report.
The file discussed with the class for easy access can be found here Chicago Citation at Laurier.
Remember to look to OWL @ Purdue for other questions that arise about citation. It’s where Mr. Kosowan or Ms. Vilicic go when we’re looking for information about citation.
