9th grade literature. Ancient to Middle Ages great books list?

[LNC]

This is for literature. I'll use Omnibus volumes and Sparknotes to discuss. We read adaptations of many of these in the logic stage, so I want to read them in literature, since we'll study early modern history next year. Shakespeare will be covered with brother in history reading. I'm skipping Herodotus, Livy etc bc they are more history than literature.

 

My list so far. Needs to be doable in 36 weeks, my downfall! We will follow Omnibus reading schedule for each work.

 

Iliad

Odyssey

Greek Tragedy, Comedy

Aeneid

Beowulf

Song of Roland

Canterbury Tales

Dantes Inferno

Paradise Lost

 

I think this is MORE than enough, considering this year's LLfLotR schedule is hard to keep up with, in addition to reading in other subjects. Should I replace anything, or cut? Thanks for any help.

Consider Gilgamesh and we used Words of Delight a book on the Bible as literature. It is tough, but worth it.

You may want to add Sir Gawain and the Green Knight to your list if you are already using LLOTR. (edited for spelling error)

We have done a survey of bible as literature. I can't stand Gilgamesh, but will consider if it considered a must study....
