What are some essential ancient Greek non fiction literature?

What are some essential ancient Greek non fiction literature?
I'm particularly interested in archaic, Hellenistic, Minoan and Mycenaean periods, but I do want to know is more about every single period.
If anyone could include books about society and daily life as well that would be fantastic.

Pls respond

The Illyad and The Odyssey or however you write those names in english

There are trilions of individual tales and stories about greek heros and gods, listing them all here would be futile

Thanks my dudes!
But do you know any historical books about those time periods?

Anabasis
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anabasis_(Xenophon)
Its the story of 10,000 Greek mercenaries trying to get home from Babylon.
It was written by Xenophon who was an actual solder on the journey.

I don't know if its any good tho

I've only read the comic. It was pretty dank.

>Herodotos:Histories

this is essential and works as source for many, its pretty entertaining too as Hero was a goofy lad

Holy shit thanks dude

The Ten Thousand by Xenophon.
The Histories by Herodotus.

It's excellent. I particularly liked the segment where they are camping by the ruins of an old Assyrian city yet no local guide know anything about who actually built it. And that was only like 200 years after the destruction of the terrible and immensly powerful Assyrian Empire.
That's some proper Ozymandias shit right there.

Obvious and also Thucydides.

There was also Arian who wrote about Alexander. Plutarch too wrote in Greek about Greeks but also Romans.

Literally just go to b-ok or join an irc channel and search "ancient greece."

you guys made my day

The art of analfucking by Faggomedes from Thebes

Read some Aristophanes for those based Socrates bants.

You know, history have make me hate ancient greeks and romans with a passion

I wish someone would have fucked them good

Arrian's "Anabasis of Alexander"

>minoan literature
Good luck with that.

~ Thucydides
> History of the Peloponnesian War

> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Peloponnesian_War

persians fucked greece pretty good, their presence made sure nobody could achieve hegemony for a long time because lol, help im being oppressed by this other city state

then came the romans and it ended ancient greece, east roman empire was a joke

romans got fucked by gauls, germanics and finally the huns
