Aristophanes sucks. Misrepresenting both Socrates (depicted more as an atheist or natural philosopher) and Euripides (stale??? He wrote hundreds of revered plays). I strongly do not like Aristophanes

Satire would imply an actual understanding of Socrates and Euripides, not Reddit tier fallacies and slander.

where does one start with the greeks? should I read a modern book on logic or philosophy first? should i read the actual works of the greek, or a modern book explaining them, or something with annotations? lol please spoonfeed me, i'm earnest, but dumb.

here's what chatgpt suggests, how's it sound my contarian lit frens?
The Story of Philosophy – Will Durant
Clear, engaging overview of major Greek philosophers and their ideas; sets historical context.
Greek Philosophy: Thales to Aristotle – Reginald E. Allen
More focused introduction to key figures and concepts; prepares you for deeper reading.
Plato: Five Dialogues (Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Phaedo) – Translated by G.M.A. Grube
Accessible primary texts showcasing Socratic method and foundational ideas.
Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics – Translated by Terence Irwin or Roger Crisp
Aristotle’s practical philosophy on virtue and ethics; essential for classical education.
The Philosophy of Socrates – Edited by Gregory Vlastos
Collected essays and analysis offering deeper insight into Socrates’ thought.
A Beginner's Guide to Logic – Martin C. Mounce
Simple introduction to logical reasoning; helps understand Greek philosophical argumentation.
Introduction to Logic – Irving M. Copi
More comprehensive logic textbook for later, more serious study of reasoning.
