Recently I read the Odyssey and Iliad for the first time. I'm basically done with literature now, right?

As I understand it everything that came after was merely an echo of those two works, no?

Pretty much. Just Sophocles, Euripides, amd Aeschylus to go.

I read them recently, then Thucydides and now Hesiod, would recommend both. I've realized all ancient Greek and Roman texts we have aren't a staggering word count, so I'll eventually read it most of it.

After Thucydides you should read Xenophon's Hellenica

I already own Plutarch and Herodotus so I'll get through those first but will get to Xenophon eventually. Before all of these I read JB Bury's History of Greece and found the speeches and excerpts he quoted from Thucydides very compelling so I specifically read his work first.
