What's the worst that could happen if I didn't start with the Greeks?

I expect a comment from NYT on the following passage:

James Risch - Idaho:
I remember you talked with us shortly after february 14th when "the new york times" wrote an article that suggested that the trump campaign was colluding with the Russians (.....) that upset you to the point where you went out and surveyed the intelligence community to see whether you were missing something in that, Is that correct?

James Comey:
That's correct. (.....)

James Risch - Idaho:
(.....) you sought out both republican and democrat senators to tell them that, hey, I don't know where this is coming from, but this is not the case. This is not factual. Do you recall that?

James Comey:
Yes.

James Risch - Idaho:
Okay. So, again, so the American people can understand this, that report by "the new york times" was not true, Is that fair statement?

James Comey:
It was not true.

t. pseud who didn't start with the greeks

imho the only real use for studying the classics like plato and them boys is for philosophy.

if you're in it for fiction only, just read the mythology because that shit gets alluded to a lot in western lit.

You'll believe you understand more about the world than you actually do.

Worst of all, you'll talk to people, who know even less than you, as though you know what you're talking about, and they will believe you.

In essence, you'll become a pseud, who creates wanna-be-pseuds - hastening the collapse of Civilization one conversation at a time.

You can prevent this disaster by going back and studying the Greeks. Then contemplate everything you would have seen had you started with the Greeks.

You'll become one of OP's wanna-be-pseud followers.

Iliad.

You could actually enjoy reading.

Nothing. Shakespare and Dante only read Latin, and they did all right.

realistically speaking, the worst that could happen is having to come back to the greeks after realizing you can't understand 90% of later philosophers because you haven't read plato and aristotle, or that you missed a lot of references from the iliad, the odissey, the herodotus' history or thucydides peloponnesian war, or that you haven't read many of the greatest playwrights ever written.

seriously, memes aside, if you want to take

you MUST start with the greeks.
