The Greeks got many of of their ideas from the Hindus you fool, that's why you start with the Hindus before the Greeks.

>Several philosophers, including Pyrrho, Anaxarchus and Onesicritus, are said to have accompanied Alexander in his eastern campaigns. During the 18 months they were in India, they were able to interact with Indian ascetics, generally described as Gymnosophists ("naked philosophers").

>Pyrrho returned to Greece and founded Pyrrhonism, the first Western school of skepticism. The Greek biographer Diogenes Laërtius explained that Pyrrho's equanimity and detachment from the world were acquired in India.[22] Pyrrho was directly influenced by Buddhism in developing his philosophy, which is based on Pyrrho's interpretation of the Buddhist Three marks of existence.[23]

>Another of these philosophers, Onesicritus, a Cynic, is said by Strabo to have learnt in India the following precepts: "That nothing that happens to a man is bad or good, opinions being merely dreams. ... That the best philosophy [is] that which liberates the mind from [both] pleasure and grief".[12]

This, but unironically. One must balls deep in Guenon's "Introduction the Hindu doctrines" first, then go through the Upanishads and Bhagavad gita. And only after learning these books read the Greeks.

Start with the sumerians, Egyptians and old Hindus, then move onto Babylonians, Hittites, then the Greeks. If you don't understand Hittites and other early indo European animal mythologys influence on the Greeks (especially the horse), you won't get it.

'Introduction to the Study of the Hindu Doctrines'. It was one of his first books and he systematically introduces and defines all the concepts that he references repeatedly in later books. 'Hindu' in the title could easily be replaced with the word 'traditional' and the book would be the same, it's not just about Hinduism.
