I've heard that one should read some of Nietzsche's previous works to avoid misinterpreting the text: Birth of Tragedy, The Gay Science, etc.

Also, what is the best translation? I have heard Kauffman is the gold standard

Kaufmann’s Portable has about a hundred pages of this and that to prepare you for it. It’s just mythopoetic good fun

Unironically all of Western philosophy until Neech, especially the presocratics and the King's Castler with his Cat and Gore sickle Imperative. Having read Homer and the three canonical tragic poets won't hurt either
