I actually think pure Ionic (like Herodotus) is easier to read than straight Attic because the verbs don't contract as much and it's easier to identify the forms. Homer is his own special set of problems. You'll be fine with an Attic foundation, especially once you get used to Homer's little quirks (like the -oio genitive ending).
