>Marcus Aurelius - Meditations >Aristotle - The Nichomachean

You shouldn't read them in that order. Read some dialogues before reading the Republic. Also you should have some understanding of Greek mythology, as well as the Illiad and the Odyssey.

Can you spoonfeed me some example dialogues?
What books should I get for Greek mythology?

If you have read your basic mythology, here's a recomendation for Plato's dialogues.

First: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Phaedo.
Next: Meno, Republic I-II, Protagoras, Gorgias
Next: Philebus, Phaedrus
Next: Theaetetus, Symposium, the rest of Republic
Next: Timaeus, Sophist, Parmenides

Note: skip Aurelius, he's not necessary for anything; read aristotle's nicomachean
ethics->politics->metaphysics, and you'll be set for greek philosophy.

Also, read 'The Complete World of Greek Mythology' for mythology. Plato references greek deities and priests almost constantly, so you shouldn't skip it.

Thanks friend

Also, if you have trouble understanding something, just search for it here -> https://plato.stanford.edu/
You might misunderstand some of Plato's points otherwise, as he never states them outright.

Marcus Aurelius ain't even Greek...

He wrote it in Greek which is part of the reason it's (wrongly) lumped with Greek threads.

>reading the physics without reading the organon
desu not sure how you'd read metaphysics without physics, and not sure how you'd read physics without at least the categories/interpretations/both analytics

Aurelius is a conclusion to stoicism so he can be considered greek

>not sure how you'd read metaphysics without physics

carefully, what you said goes for every work of aristotle, they are all connected, and expound on terms he uses in common between texts, that being said, physics is essential reading, more important than metaphysics imo

I've only read the organon and the physics so far and almost immediately saw that buildup of terms and concepts. Honestly I have no idea how someone could have read the physics without reading the organon, and I suspected exactly what you just said, that the same goes for pretty much all of his writings.
