You could've just said you were an intellectual toddler and we all would've understood
Can't I just skip the Greeks and read something enjoyable? I hate those ancient cunts desu
read the greeks is the equivelent of /g/ telling you to install gentoo or /fit/ telling you to do GOMAD.
Literally just read something you enjoy. Infintiely better use of your time then slogging through shit you dont enjoy. If you jump into reading stuff you enjoy you are more likely to develope a genuine love for literature and may even want to revist the greeks one day.

kek
>started with the greeks
>genuinely liked it
Thanks Yea Forums
i hate reading the greeks too OP, but if you are at least more than superficially familiar with their philosophy, it'll help with other stuff. everybody after them were obsessed with the greeks because they felt like they had to respond to all their shit arguments, and so just started civilization.
it's the equivalent of the first-ever thinking person being your boomer aunt sally who believes Onion articles are real. of course you know her ideas, so you can tell her off for being a dumb cunt. same with the greeks. they kickstarted civ by being inbred morons
greek women are hot af tho
wow i think i had a stroke while writing this
People think startimg with the Greeks means starting with Plato and Aristotle.
Starting with the Greeks actually means staring with Homer, Herodotus, Thucydides, aechylus, sophocles, euripides, Aristophanes, etc. which are actually enjoyable to read.
Remember, although it often doesn't seem like it, this is a literature forum not a philosophy forum.
What a joke
