Homer and Hesiod would be helpful but probably aren't necessary.

>The First Philosophers
Gee, I don't know, maybe you should read The Zeroth Philosophers?

Yeah, but people recommend reading the Histories, Odyssey, and Iliad beforehand, also Edith Hamilton's Mythology.

I just don't want to misinterpret anything or get lost in allusions I can't understand.

But you should read The Epic of Gilgamesh before Homer, because Homer was actually influenced by it. But before you read The Epic of Gilgamesh you have to read the Sumerian Bilgames poems upon which the Epic was built!
You'll never read anything if you're going to be this autistic.

Don't forget: before you can read any of that stuff you first have to spend 10 years studying cave paintings.
