Where exactly does one start with the Greeks, /lit/?

Either Homer or Hesiod. They're the oldest. I think Homer, strictly speaking, is the oldest, but Hesiod isn't far behind.

I might actually read Hesiod first, since he collects a lot of the myths and religious tales and fables that are in the background of the Iliad and the Odyssey.

What is the best way to get my hands on Mythology by Edith Hamilton? Should I just buy hardcover off of Amazon, or elsewhere?

By starting with the Mesopotamians.

Homer -> Hesiod -> Aeschylus -> Sophocles -> Herodotus -> Eurpides -> Thucydides -> Hippocrates -> Aristophanes -> Plato -> Aristotle -> Epicurus -> Euclid -> Archimedes

If you're going to commit to the Greeks you'd better get real comfy using amazon prime.
