This site is not particullarly reliable, it is more of a third party website made by someone who wants to provide information on Alexander the Great. What it useful about it is it's bibliography, it provides a lot of information on the sources on Alexander. I would recomend using this to find out who the sources are, and then try to research further into them.
This is the Campaigns of Alexander, by Arrian, an ancient source on Alexander, but a secondary source because he was a Greek who lived during Roman times.
Excuse me Mr. Hilton, I'm having trouble finding primary sources that give me information on Athenian democracy, do you know about any that could be useful? Aristotle was useful, and Thucydides provided some information on Athenian democracy, but I couldn't find anything from the other sources you listed that is relevant to Task B.

You can use Aristotle, Herodotus, Xenophon and Thucydides as primary sources as well as any others you can think of (please post them below if you think of them). To get a hold of their works, search within our group bookmarks (or my bookmarks) on diigo for "primary sources" or you could just go to the Internet Ancient History Sourcebook (http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/asbook07.html and go to 'Athenian Democracy') which is excellent. > > If anyone has any other solutions to help people out, please post them below. > > Good luck! > > Mr Hilton.
Provides a lot of information on Pericles, but it is hard to access if you do not have an account for the website. What is more useful is the information on Thucydides' relationship with Pericles and his reliability as a souce on Pericles in the second paragraph.
