What reading level is Aristophanes And the Political Parties At Athens By Maurice Croiset; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE KNIGHTS 79 of affairs. He does not, by any means, say that it was always thus, and that it cannot be corrected so long as the people remain masters. "We must therefore look to the rest of the play for explanation and elucidation of this initial verdict.
The fight is on between the two rivals. Had the poet clung to his first notion, Agoracritos would, in due course, have to appear to be worse than Cleon — not only more impudent, more vulgar, a greater flatterer and a greater hypocrite, but, ...above all, more intensely selfish and wicked. Just as Cleon, while professing to love the people, really loves only himself and seeks solely his own advantage, so his rival should likewise strive only to enrich himself, to live luxuriously and merrily at the expense of his dupe. Indeed, that would be the neces- sary condition for verifying the law just enunciated. If, on the contrary, Agoracritos is only apparently ambitious, if for all his vulgarity he is a respectable man, if he really desires the welfare of the people, and if he actually succeeds in correcting their ways, it must follow that the democracy is not irretrievably doomed to fall through its own defects, and that it may after all be reformed.
