See, I would argue that there are some things that there's no essential need to read. Plato's writing is so entrenched in large slews of Western philosophy that you don't even need to read him. Nietzsche, yes. Plato, no. There's a few subtleties and nuances that you'll miss without reading Plato, but you're life won't be enriched any by ploughing through. Seneca's Medea, that's what you want.
