Main ideas and recommendations

• The video presents a “basic minimum” reading list: if you’re already prepared to read the foundational works—especially the Iliad and Odyssey—then these additional classics help create a coherent understanding of literature and society.
• The emphasis is that studying classic texts is timeless (“for all times”) and can clarify how power works, particularly how power corrupts.
• The speaker suggests that many influential historical figures and members of the nobility were educated on these works, positioning them as formative “core” knowledge.

Detailed reading list (methodology / instructions)

Step 1: Start with foundational epics (implied prerequisite)

• Homer — The Iliad
• Homer — The Odyssey

Step 2: Add the “basic minimum” classics

• Homer’s related canon, as a transition to further foundational literature
• Dante — The Divine Comedy
  • Framed as “for all times.”
• John Milton — Paradise Lost
  • Included as a major essential work (“Of course”).
• Greek tragedy (general)
  • Mentioned as a key component (“at least according to one play by Aeschylus”); the subtitle appears to contain errors (e.g., the name/order).
• Apuleius — The Golden Ass
  • Highlighted as something the speaker read willingly.
  • Cicero is mentioned as not yet read by the speaker, though it’s unclear whether this is a recommendation or a personal note.
• Plutarch (subtitle appears as “Plutark”)
  • Central to the list (“What about without Plutarch?”).
  • Suggested work: Lives of the Parallel Lives / Comparative Lives (subtitles explicitly mention “comparative life”).
• “See Svyatoi, the lives of the twelve Caesars”
  • Likely refers to a work about Roman emperors/caesars; the name “Svyatoi” appears to be a subtitle error.
  • Most likely corresponds to Suetonius — Lives of the Twelve Caesars.

Intended outcome of the reading

After reading, you will understand:

• What “any power” is worth (its value/impact)
• How “any power corrupts”
• The rule: unlimited power corrupts without limit

Many aspects of society and history should become clear after engaging with these texts.
