OK my personal amazon wishlist, as opposed to my cow wishlist, is now full of Xenophon. I'm still SO MAD people made me read fucking Plato and motherfucking Aristotle in my youth instead of my buddy Xenophon.
the boyfriend read the Anabasis awhile back and he loved it and I was so pleased that he chose to read the Greek classics without me pushing them on him haha (because of how it intersects with his Irish poetry research).

Xenophon is ABSOLUTELY the way to get into Greek classics and honestly just fucking skip the philosophers. I have a translation of Herodotos's Histories to get into, too.

I love Herodotus. Alex also really enjoys Homer, I bought him Bk I of the Iliad just the other day.
