Sedley, D. N., ed. 2003. <i>The Cambridge Companion to Greek and Roman Philosophy</i>. Cambridge ; New York: Cambridge University Press. This book provides a survey approach for some of the ancient Greek and Roman philosophers, covering Pythagoras, one of the early philosophers, to Cicero, one of the important Roman thinkers and theorists in the 1st century BCE.
Graham, Daniel W., ed. 2010. <i>The Texts of Early Greek Philosophy: The Complete Fragments and Selected Testimonies of the Major Presocratics</i>. Cambridge ; New York: Cambridge University Press. What is striking to those who study Greek Philosophy is how little of their works actually survived and often we have passed on testimonials rather than first hand writing to describe what the philosophies were. The Presocratics were the first set of important philosophers and their fragmentary writings are very important to reconstructing their early thoughts. This work presents the key fragments.
