So I started with the greeks. Now what?
Im almost done with Xenophon, I already started with Plato, when Im done with him I will start with Aristotle. This seems pretty obvious progression, but what comes after that? When will I be done with the greeks? I guess I could spend an entire life with them and never be done.
My interests are politics, economics and epistemology.

You don’t have to read only the Greeks

But if you like epistemology you could read Sextus Empiricus

It goes Socrates > Plato > Aristotle > Saint Thomas Aquinas

Maybe move on to Cicero and Plutarch (or selections of Plutarch) afterwards? Maybe Sextus Empiricus for a kind of ancient skepticism recognizeable to moderns?

why don't you just read the harvard classics, the great books, or bloom's canon list if you're into that sort of thing?
