Great Authors of the Western Literary Tradition by Elizabeth Vandiver
A very extensive literature overview and probably the best bang for your buck in this genre that Great Courses provides. However, with multiple lecturers the quality is not consistent - and some eras have better lecturers and coverage offered in other of their courses.

Great Authors of the Western Literary Tradition, 2nd… by The Great Courses
Part I: Near Eastern and Mediterranean. Just excellent. Vandiver is a lecturer to stick with.
Part II: Literature of the Classical World. Just the same. So illuminating, Astonished to find out how much and how very little I know of these works.
