Recommendations - What Next?

Hello!

I've been getting into reading Classical literature recently, and I was wanting some recommendations on what to read next.

I read the Iliad, and I LOVED it. I'm not normally big on war texts, but I really, really enjoyed it.

Next, I read the Odyssey, and, to be honest...fuck Odysseus. All my homies hate Odysseus. If Odysseus has no hater, I am dead. Not my favorite read.

I'm about halfway through the Aeneid now, and I'm enjoying it so far! I don't love it as much as the Iliad or loathe it as much as the Odyssey. I'm having a pretty good time!

As I'm approaching the end, though, I'm wondering where I should go next. I've heard of Ovid's Metamorphoses, but I'm not sure if it's a similar style to the things that I've read. Other than that, though, I'm not sure where to start. I know that if I go to the bookstore to try to look, I'll end up spending...all of my money. Does anyone have any pointers of good Classical lit that I might like?

Thank you!!
