I would start with Plato's Gorgias, then read his Republic.

Then go to Aristotle read his Ethics, and Politics

The go to Xenophon read his writings on Socrates and Cyrus.

Obviously also a goos idea to read Thucydides History of the Peloponnesian war and Herodotus's Histories.

After you read all this give Leo Strauss's "The City and Man" a read.

Histories, the Homeric epics, Mythology by Hamilton... Pre-socratics and sophists, then Socratic dialogues via Plato

The Iliad
The Odyssey
Prometheus Bound
Oedipus Rex
Antigone
Lysistrata

starting with the greeks is a meme. you should read culturally relevant books to become acquainted with the common parlance of your culture. If you're British read the King James Bible, read Shakespeare, Austen, Dickens, etc. Read Homer and a few greek plays but don't get autistic about it.

First, learn the modern Greek alphabet, cold. 24 upper-case characters, 24 lower-case characters, and a handful of degenerate characters. Learn what isopsephy is and take note of the similar systems of gematria (Judaism) and abjad (Arabic)

Presocratics (Waterfield)

Iliad and Odyssey (pick one)

Plato (Hackett)

Aristotle (Oxford, two Vols.)

Euclid, Elements (Heath, Dover. The B&N omnibus is literally the same thing and economical, so don't stick your nose up at it without knowing what its content actually is)

Apollonius, Conics (Springer has certain editions but a very attractive recent edition is due to Green Lion, New Mexico)

Various histories.
