Thanks for the info thats the exact kind of answer i was looking for! Really appreciate it A M

Answer
I didn't find it that difficult to read. I read it in the...tenth grade? Ninth or tenth when I really started getting into Greek mythology. It can be difficult to keep all of the characters straight, but if you're good with juggling several characters, you'll be fine.
"Gulliver's Travels" is one of my favorite novels. Jonathan Swift is incredibly clever and jaded.
"Tristram Shandy" is really interesting, too. It's a modernist text written two hundred years before Modernism.
"The History of Don Quixote de la Mancha" is another one of those books that you should definitely read at some point in your life.
Milton's "Paradise Lost" has one of the best characters in all of literature. Milton's Satan. Incredibly interesting, with powerful language.
Shakespearean plays: Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Julius Caesar, Richard II

I need to find great books about greek mythology. I don't need percy jackson & the Olympians, Heroes of olympus or the Odyssey, because i already7 read them. And if there is a book with a collection of different stories, and a book that focuses on the titan war that would be great. and in advanced thank you.
Answer
The Iliad is great and I recommend it most highly, especially if you've read the Odyssey. However, it is a bit dense, though more readable than most portions of the BIble. Still, you asked for advanced...
Other ancient texts:
Hesiod's Theogony,
Aesop's works (his fables; read them as adult collection),
works of Sappho,
the Argonautica,
True History by Lucian of Samosata
Titanomachy by Eumelus of Corinth focuses entirely on the titan war, so that should be a good read for you.
Hope that helped.
