Classical Education-Self Taught

Included here are thirty works from Greek and Roman sources. The list is not all-encompassing but is meant as a condensed classical education one can give oneself and is part one of a two-part series. A traditional classical education is heavy on ancient Greek and Roman sources so I have selected some of the most impactful and hard-hitting titles that have come down to us from antiquity that I could think of and that have had a long-lasting impact overall on Western and world culture. Some additional Roman authors will be included in part two but this should suffice for the time being.
