Besides my WWII/WWIII fetishes, I'm very interested in Greek culture. Yet, I've never took the time to sit down and study its history. I been obsessed with writing an alternate history Peloponnesian War, yet know virtually nothing about it.
Where should I began when studying Greek history? The reason I'm refraining from studying Roman as for alt hist sake its been done a ton of times, yet it is no doubt interesting. Any links/books you can point me to? Should I read everything-myths, ancient and modern authors on the subject, culture, economy? etc?
How long should the research span? A year? two years? life? Any good alternate history Greek novels(IF those exist)/and or forum threads?
