Reading half of The Aeneid

The Bacchae, by Euripides

Agammemnon and The Eumenides, by Aeschylus

Oedipus the King, by Sophocles

Theogony, by Hesiod

Bits and pieces of The Odyssey

Bits and pieces of Ovid's Metamorphoses

Bits and pieces of the Homeric Hymns

And for fun I'll slowly continue reading Troilus and Cressida, by Chaucer (modern English translation).


Which, if any, do you consider the boring bit?
The least exciting, I suppose, may be reading only half the Aeneid? Are you forbidden from reading the rest? Or is it the modern English translation of Troilus and Criseyde you are lamenting (it is not the prose translation, I hope. I almost bought that one because it did not occur to me that someone might actually do that to the poem.
