What reading level is A History of Greece From the Earliest Times to the Death of Alexander the Great book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The causes which led to this change of feeling were very various. In Sparta itself a new generation was now coming to the front, which had grown up since the truce of 445 b. C. These younger men did not remember the dangers and difficulties of the time that had followed the great earthquake of 464 b. C. And the revolt of the Helots. Moreover, a dozen years of unbroken peace had sufficed to restore the power of Sparta, and to consolidate once more her ancient hegemony in Peloponnesus. There was ...no longer any fear of seeing a renewal of those Athenian attempts to vrin territory within the Isthmus which the elder men could remember. In the depth of his heart well-nigh every Spartan felt a grudge against Athens, for having built up an empire which — even since the loss of her dominion on land— was sufHcient to overshadow the comparatively loose and ill-defined hegemony which his own city possessed in Peloponnesus. He was jealous that any Grecian state should be able to vie with Sparta, and anxious to fight out to a final decision the question whether that state or Sparta were really the stronger.
