Ok so give me the primary resources. I know to start with Thales, Anaimander and Anaximenes. Is there a flow chart of books to read?

Yes, so can you post it? I am trying to be enlightened my brother.

i actually don't save charts, but i recommend heraclitus and homer as good places to start, and my two personal favorite ancient greeks. also if you really want to be enlightened learn greek, a lot of the philosophy is embedded in the language

ENOUGH!!! If you have to read one of these shitty modern translations, at least pick one with some poetic value like Fitzgerald's, or one that's autistically literal like Lattimore's.
Obviously though, you should be reading the translations that are works of art in and of themselves: Pope's and Chapman's.
