Replying to @bronzeagemantis
Herodotus is indeed a great place to start. Thucydides could follow. But most Greek poetry, from Homer to Theophrastus, is quite hard to appreciate without prior experience and introduction to the material, and it takes a while figuring it out before one can truly enjoy it.
