What should one read next after "starting with the greeks"? Is there chart to use after completing this one?

I’ve been enjoying Edith Hamilton’s ‘Mythology’

It’s a good starting point for those that are new to the Greek myths.

When I heard "start with the Greeks", I envisioned reading Plato and Aristotle. Do I really have to read Mythologies, Illiad, Odyssey, the histories, and the first Philosophers before I get there? I looked through the catalogue and it looks like mythologies is a slog to get through. Is there an alternative? I'm asking because I know I'll give up it it's too dull.

Read a little bit each day, stop and ask yourself questions about what you've read. If it's a famous enough author, you can find others' interpretations of their writings and see if those line up with what you've gleamed.

"Useful" is defined by your objective.
If you're preparing for university, just grab a general history/culture course (like this one https://www.coursera.org/learn/ancient-greeks).).
If you're just enjoying yourself, and you like mythology and anthropology, go with Hesiod, Homer and Herodotus.
If you want to be fast, just bypass the source and pick up a book contemporary book on the matter.
That said, anything serious or long term will go through Homer at some point.
