I worked my way through translations of the illiad and the republic. Have fun! So many people dying in such detailed fashion, good stuff. Usually you even learn what kind of crops the victim's in-laws plant alongside the description of the killings.
lI must admit that I kind of lost stamina towards the second half of the republic
Does plato have further works in as long a form as the republic? The other dialogues I know are a relatively quick read, euthyphro is a must I guess, and symposion is a classic(*), and sometimes funny, I remember being amused .
(*) duh.
