Bump

Also curious, how long did it take you to get this far? And what did you find most effective for learning?

You've gone through the trouble of learning Greek but don't know what to read now?

Two years of pretty intense study. The best thing to do imo is to conbine traditional, philological learning methods that give a microscopic understanding of the language with lots, lots of reading (the best thing for this is the Athenaze method)

Yeah pretty much. Eventually I'd like to read most of the extant literature, but I'm not very inspired right now

Try this out:

It is a simpler version of the Anabasis if you are interested. I generally hear that Xenophon is the most "accessible" of the Greeks, so you might want to head in that direction. Good luck with your studying!

some greek stuff, great apparatus

Thanks, will check it out. I've already translated excerpts from Xenophon's dialogues a few times but found them pretty boring, especially compared to Plato's. Is his historical work better?

Plutarch and Polybius are supposedly quite simple

You should start preparing for Homer soon desu. (reading him should help with the playwrights too, which are probably the hardest texts in the language)
