So who in @bookstodon world has read much in the way of #Greek classics? Any favourites, recommended translations, etc.? I've barely tried any but on a recommendation I recently bought the #Waterfield translation of #Herodotus and the #Lattimore version of #Thucydides. I'm slightly daunted but looking forward to getting stuck in! #bookstodon
