- I place a fairly low priority on, but am theoretically interested
in, learning about Minoan/Mycenaean civilization and Greek Mythology;
some resources for this are The Minoan-Mycenaean Religion and Its Survival
in Greek Religion by Martin Nilsson; Primitive Culture in Greece
by H. J. Rose; Prolegomena for the Study of Greek Religion by
J. E. Harrison; and I should look at the introduction to Fagles' translation of
the Iliad for some more contemporary sources.
- The Bacchae of Euripides, for learning about the cult of
Bacchus and the Orphic philosophers.
- Early Greek Philosophy and From Thales to Plato
by John Burnet.
- Herodotus' history of the Persian Wars.
- Chapter IV of Les Philosophes Géomètres de la Grèce
(hopefully translated), by Gaston Milhaud, and The Greek Atomists and
Epicurus, by Cyril Bailey, for learning about atomism.
