So /lit/ I don't want to start with the Greeks, what are the alternatives that I can take?

Read anything out of order as it appeals to you. And then predictably give up, and start with the Greeks.

You can start with Rationalism, one of the early branches from modern philosophy. Descartes is a great introduction.

What would /lit/ recommend to a /2hu/ fag? I have always been disappointed about the lack of prose content form the fandom.

You could probably read some random shit about Lycurgus of Sparta. It would help you understand Plato's conception of the philosopher king.

An obvious answer would be Kwaidan by Lafcadio "Koizumi Yakumo" Hearn.
