Big mistake, you need to start with the Proto-Indo-Europeans for languages and start with the Sumerians for literature.

Redpill me on indo-aryans. Did they make it to inner-Earth or did they come from thence?

Have fun, OP. Starting with the Bible is even better, however.

What a silly chart. 1000+ pages of commentary before reading a single source text. Pseud approach, and a good way to stop people from reading altogether.

What are you starting with? I recommend to watch this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZrGFe0OII8)) and then jump straight into The Iliad. I never liked the chart approach in which you need to read an american for 500 pages before even reading a greek.

Start with the Bible (Douay Rheims only), then the Commedia, then circle back to the Greeks and Romans
