What reading level is A History of Greece From the Earliest Period to the Close of the Generation Co book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So strong was the sanctity of Grecian custom in respect to the foundation of colonies, that the Korkyraeans, in spite of their enmity to Corinth, had been obliged to select the GEkist (or Founder-in-Chief) of Epi- damnus from that city — a citizen of Herakleid descent named Pha- lius — along with whom there had also come some Corinthian settlers. And thus Epidamnus, though a Korkyrasan colony, was nevertheless a recognized grand-daughter (if the expression may be allowed) of Corinth, the recoll...ection of which was perpetuated by the solemnities periodically celebrated in honor of the GEkist.
Founded on the isthmus of an outlying peninsula on the seacoast of the Illyrian Taulantii, Epidamnus was at first prosperous, and acquired a considerable territory as well as a numerous population. But during the years immediately preceding the period which we. Have now reached, it had been exposed to great reverses. Internal sedition between the oligarchy and the people, aggravated by attacks from the neighboring Illyrians, had crippled its power; and a recent revolution, in which the people put down the oligarchy, had reduced it still farther— since the oligarchical exiles, collecting a force and allying themselves with the Illyrians, harassed the city grievously both by sea and land.
