I've read Aeschylus, some Plato, not that much. But I'd say it depends on what you want to learn from that. If you ask me, I'd be interested in the Greeks by how were they later interpreted by authors like Kant, Spinoza, Hegel, etc. So I'd say go for Hesiod, Homer, since both of them provide the background for all the Greeks after them and then go for the Milesians, and the other presocratics (which includes Heraclitus) and then Plato and so on. I wouldnt bother with the Romans but maybe thats just ignorance from my part. I dont know if my naswer was good enough but let me know, i am currently to start to read some other greek text so maybe we could help each other!
