I considered reading On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin but decided to read The Bruce by John Barbour (i'm in trouble though because I don't exactly understand the Scots language.)

>>8866553
Also, for what is worth Bloom recommends Fagles' translation of Antigone in his Western Canon

>>8866575
Bloom doesn't read Greek so he should his mouth.

>>8866617
Didn't he do like 5 years of classical languages or some shit?

I've read the dark blue one (OP) posted and it's helped to keep me interested in studying philosophy and reading in general.

>>8866500
can't even read infographic how the hell am i gonna read the greeks

>>8866500
The Greeks are a meme civilization.

i've read the black one and yes, mythologies was a good grounding in common myths if a little dry

homer was far more fun to read than i was expecting, and of course reading aristotle and plato will help understand later philosophy

much like reading sophocles (and other greek dramatists) helps with understanding and appreciating later drama/literature imo

>>8866553
not him, but the translation in zizek's version

>>8866500
>The Greeks
>No Aesquilus, Sophocles or Aristophanes.

why not improve on it then. I was thinking it would be a good idea to add url's to each book so its easier for people to find the material, but I haven't done it...which works of Aeschylus, Sophocles and / or Aristophanes would you add?

Zoom in on (pic related) you can actually see this one...also: http://4chanlit.wikia.com/wiki/Charts

>>8869563
forgot to mention you have to save the picture first

Don't bother with Darwin, watching a lecture on Origin would be as enlightening as reading the text itself.

Has anyone read either of the Ancient Greece histories by Sarah B. Pomeroy? They have barely any reviews on Amazon.

Wondering if there might be a better book on Ancient Greece out there.

Why should anyone read the greeks?

>>8869771
yes and its not bad, you can download it for free at http://gen.lib.rus.ec

you would have to read the Greeks to figure that one out.

>>8869222
>Aesquilus

are you trying to latinize his name, or are you just retarded?
