Do people really learn foreign languages to read philosophical texts in their original? I feel like it would take a decade before you could tackle something like Kant or Aristotle

I want to read Plato and start the greeks. How important is the Iliad and the Odyssey to understanding Plato?

Also, where should I start? I was considering The Republic. Translation suggestions would also be welcome.

Nice artificial division between mediums. Typical teenager. Bastard thinks he's deep because he read Dostoevski and Kierkegaard.

Negative statements aren't negativity. Negativity is obsessing over some impotent defeatist like Aurelius, which this board so often does.

Too difficult because his works have so many different audiences. Grad students might be interested in something like the Phaedo while casual readers might prefer individual parts of the Repbulic or the Apology etc.
