Are you the same guy that wrote that cringe post above mine claiming that every girl is a godess? I'm giving some perspective you absolute faggot. What are you, some sort of Young Werther? Since every situation is unique we should just stop talking about shit generally and comparing our experiences?

Some great but rather forgotten (more or less) books about the ancients:

>Friedrich Albert Lange - Geschichte des Materialismus und Kritik seiner Bedeutung in der Gegenwart

A great book split in two volumes. The first volumes offers a rather materialistic outlook on presocratic philosophy with a focus on the Atomists. Still very interesting.

>Jacob Burckhardt - Griechische Kulturgeschichte

Great work on Greek art, culture, mindset and everything else. Obviously a bit dated but still very worth reading.

>Max Pohlenz - Die Stoa; Der Hellenische Mensch

Pretty self-explanatory.

Unironically, Nietzsche, especially the Birth of Tragedy, Human all too Human and Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks. Although you can find the Greeks in all of N. works. People tend to forget that N. was a philologist first and foremost and I found his opinions on the Greeks very interesting. People see N. as a rather impulsive thinker, which might be true, but his opinion on Heraclitus, for example, isn't that much different from the exhaustive and very traditional and scholarly account of Heraclitus by Guthrie. Basically, he was right about things and evaluations of the Greek spirit.

You should stay away from books and embrace your real purpose as a vessel for birthing strong male children, which will in turn, inherit the unbroken character and mental capacities of their fathers and actually explore the intellectual heritage of mankind and maybe even add to it. Nothing roasties could ever possibly hope to achieve.
