What reading level is A Selection of Passages From Plato for English Readers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus there is a vast chain of dancers and masters and under-masters of choruses, who are suspended, as if from the stone, at the side of the rings which hang down from the Muse. And every poet has some Muse from whom he is suspended, and by whom he is said to be possessed, which is nearly the same thing ; for he is taken hold of.
And from these first rings, which are the poets, depend others, some deriving their inspiration from Orpheus, others from Musaeus ; but the greater number are possesse...d and held by Homer. Of whom. Ion, you are one, and are possessed by Homer; and when any one repeats the words of another poet you go to sleep, and know not what to say ; but when any one recites a strain of Homer you wake up in a moment, and your soul leaps within you, and you have plenty to say ; for not by art or knowledge about Homer do you say what you say, but by divine inspiration and by possession ; just as the Corybantian revellers too have a quick percep- tion of that strain only which is appropriated to the God by whom they are possessed, and have plenty of dances and words for that, but take no heed of any SOCRATES THE ONE BEST MAN 67 Other.
