What reading level is Ancient Greece book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nevertheless the king, hearing of the danger that threatened the Ionian cities from the Medes, offered the Phocaeans a sum of money to enable them to build a city wall. This same city of Tartessus was at another time visited by a storm-driven ship from Samos. ' Tartessus was at that time ', says Herodotus, ' a virgin market, and so they made from their cargo a profit greater than any other Hellenes of whom we have certain knowledge. ' The historian does not say what merchandise it was that made... so great a profit, but we can guess, not without reason, ^that it was Spanish silver, for Diodorus tells of ships of the Phoenicians that, sailing to these parts, brought back so much of the metal that they made their very anchors of it.
1 iv. 108. 3 Herodotus, i, 163.
54 Ancient Greece Thus from the earliest days Greeks were seafarers who, whether by accident or by design, reached the uttermost ends of the known world and looked out upon the unknown Atlantic from Cadiz or on the Indian Ocean from Egypt.
