Genuine question, no troll no bait: Isn't starting from book of Genesis and proceeding to read more key texts in the Old Testament a better introduction to lit than the Greeks? The western canon seems to refer a lot more to the biblical stories than to the Greek stuff

Ideally you should first read the Enuma Elish and the Epic of Gilgamesh before branching out into Greek and Biblical literature (Which are both essential and draw heavily from mesopotamian mythology) if you want to start with the basics.

i think it's better to go backward then return forward here. read something -> get more context -> reread thing. at least this is how i did it when we studied this stuff in catholic school.
