As title says. I´m looking for the fragments of Heraclitus but not sure which translation is the best.

Start with Heraclitus.

Do any of you guys have any favorite books relating to Presocratic and/or Sophistic Philosophy? I ask because I've been reading about them for a while, mainly through the Oxford World's Classics collection of Presocratic and Sophistic fragments and Hackett's "Philosophy Before Socrates" but have been reading Barnes' "The Presocratic Philosophers", now curious about any good studies on individual philosophers. Post your favorite philosophers from the period and why as well.

Is there any really good reason to read ancient Greek philosophy? Most of the time it's people trying to explain things that we, in 2016, already fully understand. Sometimes it can be insightful, but overall I find it very tedious.

'I' don't 'have' 'a life', 'I' am life.
