I went to the bookstore the other day and checked out the classical corner for the first time. The Loeb classical series looked sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. I learned the basic translation skills in high school, but I can't easily read Greek yet.

What does /lit/ think of the Loeb classic series?
Which ones are worth getting?
Are there any particulary accesible works that'll allow me to brush up my Greek?

You would think a complete collection of Loebs would be glorious and beautiful, but it's actually pretty ugly.

Ask me again tomorrow I'm busy

Ugly color scheme, reminds of of 1980s CGA graphics cards. But complete and relatively cheap. Any idea where to buy part of the series or maybe the whole thing ? 532 volumes should come to around 12000 euros, not really that expensive as a long-term investment.

Book depository had all I ever looked for. That is if you want to buy separate volumes.

Take the dustcovers off, for one.

You should buy the Reading Greek series.

afaik loebs are free downloads now, there is a plenty of them on the internet legally

they are nice because they use old translations from the time when it was considered correct to translate the greeks with a rhymed verse, but they still paid a lot of attention to the wildly changing meter so the result is often pretty and better than many of the modern translations which are often nothing more than prose w/e they authors think of them

Thanks for the tip.
The first text - the one about insurance fraud - is pretty easy so far, but I like the format.
