Writing a research paper?

I am writing a research paper on Aphrodite and need three secondary sources and my teacher said that they can be from encyclopedias or websites that are published from encyclopedias or people of knowledge. Are there any other websites that can be considered secondary sources.

    First let's understand primary and secondary sources of information. A primary source would be original knowledge: like physical evidence in a murder trial.

    Secondary sources interupt or summarize the primary source: like a lawyer's summation at the murder trial. http://www.lib.washington.edu/uwill/research101/ba...

    So, in your case, the secondary source could be any website that sums up the information. For example, you are writing your paper on Martin Luther King. You could use an encyclopedia website for material AND you could use www.mlkonline.net/ as a secondary source too. This website is a summary of his works and life.

    Hope this helps
