 | I am currently a little less than halfway through reading the _Iliad_
in the original after having worked through Pharr's _Homeric Greek_. I
took 2 years of Latin in high school about 20 years ago and am
thinking about brushing up. Is there a Latin text organized like
Pharr's, i.e., as you go through reviewing the grammar elements you
also work through a big chunk of "unsimplified" Latin text?
(For those not familiar with it, Pharr's book has you work through the
entire first "book" (out of 24) of the _Iliad_.)

This'll probably do the job! Vergil's Aeneid by Pharr

An excellent recommendation!
For Cicero, you might consider Maclardy's "Completely Parsed Cicero", a
late 19th-century book recently resurrected by Bolchazy-Carducci:
