Either Homer or Hesiod. They're the oldest. I think Homer, strictly speaking, is the oldest, but Hesiod isn't far behind.

I might actually read Hesiod first, since he collects a lot of the myths and religious tales and fables that are in the background of the Iliad and the Odyssey.

If you're going to commit to the Greeks you'd better get real comfy using amazon prime.
