Due to our current world situation, many people, including me, don't know exactly where to look if we would like to start to learn more about a certain time period.

(Sorry if this isn't the right question for the sub, but I figured I might get answers here)

For me, I recently found that my love for history has expanded in this massive amounts of free time we have. But unfortunately, I do not know where to dive in to learn more about specific parts of history. Like, what's a good starting point?

Specifically for me, I am interested in the Greek, Roman, Egyptian, etc. Time periods.

Iphikrates

Just as a starting point, have you checked out the AskHistorians book list?

  • The site www.Jstor.org provides a considerable database of scientific articles in general, and has a decently sized database of articles about antiquity.
  • The site www.perseus.tufts.edu is a great place to start if you're ever looking for the translation of a primary text. Go to 'browse collection' and select 'Greek & Roman materials' for any texts pertaining to antiquity.
  • Der Neue Pauly, Realencyclopädie der Classischen Altertumswissenschaft is a huge online encyclopedia. Pretty much any subject from anitquity is covered, giving some basic information and in many cases, also some references you can use to find out more about it. And don't worry, it's also available in English.
  • And of course google scholar is a decent option to find academic articles.
