idk what no fear Shakespeare is tbh, but for old classics like that, I feel like “homer reading guide” or just googling “most accessible way to read Homer” or something would worn

I would try finding a YouTube video on getting into classical books for beginners. They usually recommend a book on Homer or Plato that is translated in an easy to read way. I’ll check those videos for you later today!

I know they’re both considered not easy reads so I figured something like “no fear Shakespeare” would exist for them but I couldn’t find anything when I was looking online and idk if it’s how I worded my questions to google
