And /lit/ seriously tried to tell me Pewdiepie getting zoomers to start reading was a good thing

Is there an infographic about starting with Indian/vedic literature?

Hippocrates
Homer, Hesiod
Pythagoras, Euclid
Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripedes, Aristophanes
Solon and the Seven Sages, Demosthenes
Herodotus, Xenophon, Thucydides
Heraclites, Parmenides, Plato, Aristotle

Obviously basic, but it should work. Read it at any speed/depth, from any angle, as long as you read it.

Instead of Hamilton's Mythology, get Robert Graves' The Greek Myths instead.

>>13004869
Olivelle's Bhagavad Gita
then Olivelle's Upanishads along with Calasso's Ardor at the side.
If you'd like to glance a bit here and there inside the Veda, get Jamison's translation of Rg Veda.
other anons might recommend better stuffs

>recommending OP read all this fucking shit
starting with the Greeks is mostly a meme, there are only a few selected dialogues that you need to read from the pre-Socratics through to Aristotle and some of the Aristotelians like Thomas Aquinas and Avicenna to situate yourself within the concerns that eventually get picked up by the Early Moderns -- anything more than that is completely superfluous unless you want to get into an in-depth study of Greek philosophy and be like a classicist.

Perhaps I should make an infograph based on the syllabi I had when I was an undergrad.

"start with the Greeks" is a meme. all you need is the Odyssey and maybe either Plato's Gorgias or Republic. from there, read whatever you want

yay, I made it into the screencap

also, if you really liked Odyssey, go ahead and do the Iliad as well, it's more of the same
as for translations, read Fagle for ease, Pope for poetics, or Wilson for the memes
