>shun the only available direct sequel to the Iliad (Post-Homerica) because it was written only some centuries later and pseuds hated it

If you follow blindly these charts without doing your part of research you're a certified retard.

"start with the greeks" has nothing to do with any chart made by anyone

Fuck no. The chart on how to start with the greek is a meme, But starting with the greeks in itself is the right thing to do.
>don't read the comedies
If You haven't read Aristophanes you know fuck all about actual greek culture and how real life was for most of them.

Litteraly the most funny and relatable commedy ever is The Wasps from Aristophanes. It has the son litteraly redpilling his cuckservative father about the true nature of athenian democracy and the father agrees, rather than going to the tribunal to serve jury duty for a pittance as he does every day to mantain to himself the illusion of having any say in how things are done, to stay at home eating lentils and suing a dog that ate an ham, because he might as well. He even absolves It.

You mean the codex form of books didn't exist 2000 years ago. They certainly had scroll books
