I'd suggest Xenophon, Herodotus and Thucydides, if you enjoy history, or some of the little poetry that we have left (Sappho, Pindar, lots of fragments...), the great tragedies (always had a soft spot for Sophocles' Antigone), the philosophers (everyone should read Plato's Apology of Socrates). Menander is the other great comic author, but I don't remember his works at all, not sure he's any "cleaner" than Aristophanes!

Lauren,
I've recently read Clouds & Lysistrata if you want to message me. I think the Greek Tragedies selections from the MP high school set at are a great place to start.
Good for you for driving in!Festina lentē,
