Has anyone taken on any of the big beasts of Greek antiquity? I never previously have, and it's one of those areas that you feel you really should explore. They sometimes come up in projects I'm working on, and indeed the last author I was working with is a self-confessed Thucydides fanboy, so on his recommendation I've bought a copy of the Lattimore translation of The Peloponnesian War, and as recommended by another author I worked with a while ago the Waterfield translation of The Histories of Herodotus. Not sure exactly when I'll get round to tackling them, but now I own them they will on my shelf demanding attention until I do!
I'm sure these will be enough for me for a good while, but are the others that people have particularly enjoyed or would recommend?
