How to start with the greeks Anonymous Wed Apr 24 21:21:12 2019 No.12999877 [Reply] [Original]

So I finally got some free time this semester and I want to seriously learn more about philosophy and I decided to start with the greeks, what are some sources on them(doesn't matter if it's on english, french or spanish)

Dude, don't buy those Gredos buy the other ones.

Start
Homer - The Illiad
Presocratics: The Presocratic Philosophers by Kirk and Raven
Before going into Plato read at least the comedy Clouds by Aristophanes (important source on Socrates)

Plato (don't go straight into Republic; start with Apology; Menon, Symposium, Fedro and Sophist are a must imo): Paideia by Jaeger, History of Greek Philosophy Vol. IV & V by Guthrie, Campbell, History of Greek Literature by Lesky.
Aristotle: Intro to Aristotle by Reale, Aristotle by Berti Aristotle by Jaeger, Vol. VI by Guthrie (unfinished because he dies)

That is a pretty solid start
