What reading level is A History of Greece, From the Earliest Times to the Roman Conquest, With Supplementary Chapters On the History of Literature And Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Athenians, on their return to Attica after the defeat of the Persians, found their city ruined and their country desolate. Their first care was to provide shelter for the houseless families which had been transported back from Troezen, ^gina, and Salamis. When this had been accomplished, they began to rebuild their city on a larger scale than before, and to fortify it with a wall. Those allies to whom the increasing maritime power of Athens was an object of suspicion, and especially the ^gi...netans, to whom it was more particularly formidable, beheld her rising fortifications with dismay. In order to prevent the completion of these fortifications, they endeavored to inspire the Lacedaemonians with their own fears, and urged them to arrest the work. But though Sparta shared the jealousy of the ^ginetans on this occasion, she could not with any decency interfere by force to prevent a friendly city from exercising a right inherent in all independent states. She assumed, therefore, the hypocritical garb of an adviser and counsellor.
