Finally took your advice lads. Starting with the Greeks and pic related. Also got the Iliad and the Odyssey (penguin editions). Looking forward to reading again for the first time in months.

Don't be afraid to flip around in Hamilton's book, there are a lot of names, and the index helps, and the Iliad/Odyssey should be read aloud, at least I did and enjoyed it
come back when you've read them faggot. Your post was pointless.

Reading Hesiod or even Apollodorus is a really bad way to get someone started with reading mate
