Books by Greek Authors

Hey guys! So this post is all about works created by Greeks! Below, you'll find this divided into two groups: Ancient and Modern. As well, you'll notice that some titles are in green, some are in yellow while others are in red; this is so you know which I've completely read (blue), ones that I've only read snippets of (grey), and those that I haven't gotten to yet (black). I hope this is useful to anybody who is looking to find a book by a Greek author!
