The Aeneid is the magnum opus of maybe the most important Latin poet (Vergil). Often overlooked and very influential in European literature in general, so I'd recommend you that. Also, Ovid's Metamorphoses.It's the main source of most versions of the classical myths.

Read the Histories of Herodotus. Packs in history, culture, myth, interpretation, and folklore for nearly the whole ancient east Mediterranean peoples. And it's told to you like a old bartender telling you a story. Plus it's as important as Homer and The Republic.
