Reading list - take two

[scribb1e]

My original reading list went:

The Epic of Gilgamesh (~20th century BC)

The Old Testament (composed between the 10th and 2nd centuries BC)

Homer (~8th century BC)
- The Iliad
- The Odyssey

I've (rather ambitiously) extended it:

Hesiod (~8th century BC)
- Works and Days
- Theogony

Alcman (7th century BC)
- Poems

Archilochus (c. 680 BC - c. 645 BC)
- Poems

Sappho (~630-570BC)
-Poems

Mahabharata (book, not author. probably composed between 900 and 500 BC, perhaps with later additions.  The entire thing is huge, but it contains the Bhagavad Gita, which is the bit I aim to read.  The Bhagavad Gita is thought to be one of the later additions, probably composed between fifth century B.C. and second century B.C.)
- Bhagavad Gita

Confucius (September 28, 551 BC - 479 BC)
- Analects

Laozi (traditionally, 6th century BC)
- Tao Te Ching

Siddhattha Gotama (c. 563 BCE to 483 BCE)
(Siddhattha Gotama was the Buddha.  His life and teachings are recorded in the Pali canon.  Most of it had probably reached its current form before the early schools separated in 4th or 3rd century BC. We know this because much of the Pali canon is also preserved in Chinese.)
- Pali canon (Vinaya and Sutta Pitaka)

Aeschylus (~525-456BC)
- Plays

Sophocles (~496 BC-406 BC)
- Plays

Herodotus (c. 484 BC-c. 425 BC)
- Histories

Euripides (ca. 480 BC-406 BC)
- Plays

Thucydides (c. 460 B.C. - c. 395 B.C.)
- The History of the Peloponnesian War

Aristophanes (ca. 446 - ca. 386 BC)
- Plays

Plato (428/427 BC[a] - 348/347 BC)
- Some of his stuff.  I'll think about what later.

The ones in bold are the ones I've read.
