I started with the Greeks after reading some classics, reading a brief history of Greece atm. Generally speaking, how do I know what in a book is worth taking notes of? Should I do it during my reading session or after?

Gimme a quick guide

My personal experience was, that if i take notes, i do not feel like i have to memorize or think about it since i "saved" it anyway.

I rather like to explain things to me laudly, that way i keep it in my hippo.

There's lots of ways to take notes fampai, but my personal method is literally just to do bullet point outlines. Right now I generally read through the book, decide if I want to take notes on it, and if I do, I do the bullet point outline passthrough. Works pretty alright for me. I note down main ideas, if there's other works mentioned, and personal reflections desu. Basically a modified quick lecture notes, but I can take my time with the book instead of listening to a professor.

If you want something more structured, look into like, Cornell notes and shit.

Take a VARK test first, then decide what will help you most using it. Some people love re-reading summaries, some prefer underlining sections, some prefer colour, some aren't meant to read
