Well, that I definitely agree on.
I think I only harped on the Greeks because someone suggested tongue-in-cheek that the Greeks represented a fairly full sum of the human experience. (I'm too lazy to check back in the thread to see what was actually said.)
So, yes, if the recommendation is to toss some Greek literature onto the pile along with some more modern stuff that clearly accentuates the pov of the more disenfranchised, then I heartily endorse this plan.
