Sup /lit/, yes I fell for the meme. I genuinely believe this is the correct way to approach philosophy and literature. In my arsenal I currently have: Mythology, A Brief History of Ancient Greece, Iliad (Fitzgerald) & The Odyssey. My question is what other intermittent books did you find valuable before heading into Plato and Aristotle? Pic related seems dated.
