Currently I'm reading The Rebel by Albert Camus. It's an interesting read, even if I am lost on most of the historical references.

It's frowned upon, but I would've thought you couldn't go wrong with the 'Introducing: Greek Philosophy' books.
I would reccommend any of Robert Grave's books on Greek Mythology (which isn't really what you're looking for).
I would also reccommend Plato's Last days of Socrates & the Republic as well as Aristotle's The Nichomachaen Ethics. Again, that's probably not what you're looking for, but I haven't ever read a secondary text which is as good an introduction as the primary ones.
