Great list! This link might be helpful for this list: http://www.interleaves.org/~rteeter/g...
Fantastic list! Many influential works I need to read! :)
Isn't Niccolò Machiavelli a bit late to be considered "Greek and Roman classical era"?
As the description says "Representative authors and works from the Greek and Roman classical era", I've removed some titles, as they clearly did not fit the description.
