ITT: books about the Greeks. The more obscure the better.
>>24793026Why don’t you read primary sources instead, Greek lit is one of the best preserved lit
Read and Herodotus then Thucydides back to back
>>24793026That top left book is awful and belongs in the same league as most Frankfurt School crap and Popper's Open Society.
>>24793030You run out of that eventually. Dumb frog poster prob doesn't even read
>>24793026You said obscure?
>>24793026Just picked up the Greek Way by Edith Hamilton. What am I in for lit?I’m also reading the Hellenistic Age by Peter Green. It’s very good but short so far so I might pick up his magnum opus: Alexander to Actium, covering the 300 year gap between the height of the Greeks and the height of the Roman’s.
Are any of these good. I got them recently
Does The Power of Myth count?
>>24793119>You run out of that eventuallyIt would take years on years to read everything we have preserved.
>>24793030That's not what he asked for you stupid nigger
>>24793026pic relatedthe EDx course was great>>24793159nah it's shit, The Hero With A Thousand Faces is where it's at
liked this one
>>24793026Uncommon translation of Sappho.
>>24793030You need ten billion annotations per page, i think its more fun reading some ancient primary source and actually understanding what they are talking about
>>24793423I remember being a freshman
>>24793370Are we really AI slopping basedjaks now?
>>24793055>t. tradtranny
>>24793226Less than 3 years if you ignore math books and discourses.
>>24793030This is one of the most bizarre recurring opinions I see on /lit/, as though two centuries of archaeology, numismatics, and delving through collections of papyri fragments and engravings hasn’t augmented and enhanced what we know about antiquity in a way you would never be able to glean from some primary source or whatever. Throwing the baby out with the bath water because a few classics grad students wrote shit like “Queering Homer” because there’s no gaps in the literature left for theses made you retarded or something.
