What reading level is A Short History of Ancient Greek Sculptors book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To depict each couple in deadly conflict — there was the happy solution.
Therefore most of the metopes represent the quarrel and fight which took place between the Lapiths, a certain tribe of Greeks, and the centaurs, at the marriage feast of Peirithous.
Pheidias and the Parthenon. 99 Fifteen of the metopes, and casts of one or two more, are let into the wall of the Elgin Room, and form a striking and spirited row of sculptures.
Some of them, notably Nos. 310, 316, and 317, display marvellous v...igour of grouping and master- liness of execution. No. 310 represents the instant of struggle when the two opposing forces meet ; the next moment, the Lapith, still pressing forward with onward force, will have struck the victorious blow at his adversary. Note the contrast between the human and the bestial form, and the skilful introduction of drapery.
Wonderfully charming is No. 316, also in the contrast of the forms and in the effective back- ground to the beautiful form of the Lapith formed by the sweeping folds of his large mantle.
