What reading level is Aeneas At the Site of Rome Observations On the Eighth book of the Aeneid book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the last century B. C. We find a tendency to represent the Trojans as Hellenes, and in Virgil's own time the Greek his- torian Dionysius gave this tendency very definite utterance. 1 Thus, this speech of Aeneas exactly represents the ideas of the age by giving the speaker a substantial claim to be where he was, an invader of Italy. This claim is a double one. The first part of it, in lines 131-134, appeals to the oracles, the common descent, the fame of Evander, and the virtus of Aeneas. The... second part is in 147-150; the enemy, uncivilised and cruel, will conquer all Italy, unless Trojans and Greeks agree on an alli- ance, such as may bring civilisation to the rude Italian tribes. Thus all arguments combine to suggest an immediate friendly understanding be- tween Aeneas and Evander. This is why Aeneas comes himself, instead of sending legati: " me, me ipse meumque obieci caput et supplex ad limina veni. " In him is represented the common descent of the peoples that are destined to rescue Italy from bar- barism, and secure for her a great career in the world.
