I'd like to read Xenophon's "Anabasis" and Hesiod's "Works and Days". I know two people who would like to read Homer's "Odyssey".
Not many copyright issues there, I'd think :)

We'll definitely add these to the queue. From a copyright perspective of course it's not the original that matters but the translation. Nonetheless, there should be good translations of these in the public domain.

"Works and Days" is great it's like a manual for the life of the Greek farmer, The Theogony is great too, I'd suggest that too, it's {as the title suggests) the Greek creation myth where you see Zeus rise to power and stop the momentum of the other gods so he remains King of the Gods.

He wasn't Greek, but I'd like to read Ovid, especially the "Metamorphoses".

If there's a good public domain translation of "The History of the Peloponnesian War," that too would be fantastic.

Sorry for the slow response. These are all great suggestions--we'll add these to the queue of titles to be processed.

"Anabasis" is now up on the site. We'll keep working on the rest of the suggested titles. Happy reading!
