Please go to the online Loeb catalogue
 
_http://www.hup.harvard.edu/loeb/author.html_ 
(http://www.hup.harvard.edu/loeb/author.html) 
 
and check which one _looks_ like your favourite. 
 
Mine changes. Right now I'd be interested to read the volume on "Eikona"  and 
"Ekphrases" by Philostratus. It's about description of statues. Pindar I is  
another favourite which I must own soon, not to mention Apuleius, Greek  
Anthology (I only own vol. iv) and the Plato I must still own. Aristotle's  
Rhetorica (he has two of them, and the Poetica, along with Horace's Ars Poetica 
 are 
also _musts_ (have in SPL).
 
What a genius James Loeb, to conceive a series of uniform volumes that  would 
include all the necessary Aiskhilos, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Plautus, and  
the rest of them. Indeed, it's all we need. 
 
Cheers,
