diadora... i started on hermes but it's pretty boring, and also started reading vishnu puranas, which for many pages is tediously wishy washy and vague, but then an awesome story happens involving a plague and a sea of milk
Royal Library of Ashurbanipal is a great rabbit hole. Have you tried it?
Give Hermes a bit of time. He ain't boring, promise you that. I was happy to see Newton dabbling into a bunch of translations and interpretations of his stuff. That really got me interested, I was dismissive first too. 😅
Yeah, I know, but what are you going to do over the next few halvings?
When you said Critias I've thought about Plato's works first. I tell you, ancient Greeks have figured out a lot of stuff since very long time ago. While we're here, "Charmides" by Plato is medicine for the soul. Definitely a must read before you get into heavier stuff. Your Apocalypse is certainly one of those, I'm pausing it for a bit now. 🤯
