Reading guides

Short bridges into a few shelves of the library. Each reading guide points at editions already on Books of Titans, with the longer essay on Substack when there is one. The Index note is a history page for the same project.

  1. Greek tragedy reading order
    A library bridge for Greek tragedy: Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in a sensible reading order, with links to Books of Titans editions and notes.
  2. Where to start with Homer
    Start with the Iliad, then the Odyssey. Optional mythology prep from Edith Hamilton and Hesiod, with links to the editions on the Books of Titans shelf.
  3. Where to start with Plato
    Start with Cooper’s Complete Works, in the printed order, beginning with Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo. Republic editions and companions already on the shelf.
  4. A King Arthur reading list
    A library bridge for the King Arthur legends: start with Roger Lancelyn Green, then the Arthurian editions already on the Books of Titans shelf.
  5. Index Librorum Prohibitorum
    A selected Wikipedia list of authors and works on the old Roman Index, and where they already meet Books of Titans. History, not a recommendation of censorship.
