What reading level is A Primer of Greek Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thucydides was well educated , wealthy, an Athenian of high culture. He commanded the army in Thrace during the Peloponne- sian war, but seems to have been unsuccess- d by Google THUCYDIDES. 87 ful. He went into exile, perhaps to Syro- cnse. Afterward he came back to Athens, and is said to have died by violence. His history is unfinished, and the last book seems to have been written by some inferior hand.
He describes in a brief survey the early con- dition of Greece, and then narrates the vary...- ing fortunes of the Peloponnesian war. Con- densed, earnest, philosophical, polished to a wonderful degree, his style represents that ornate and periodic manner which the Greeks thought the highest art in writing. He is often so succinct as to be obscure, so forcible as to be almost rude. But the highest cult- ure presides over all his sentences. His brief reflections often contain the germs of trea- tises; he thinks while he narrates. Lessfort- nnate than Herodotus, whose history ended with the magnificent triumph of his coun- try, Thucydides is forced to paint the fall- ing glories of Athens.
