What reading level is Authors of Greece book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Darius consolidated his power in Asia by the capture of therevolted province of Babylon through the self-sacrifice of Zopyrus, son of one of the seven conspirators. The vivid story of his devotionis one of the very greatest things in Herodotus.
Persia being thus mistress of all Asia, of Samos and the seaboard, began to dream of subduing Greece itself. But first Darius determinedto conquer his non-Greek neighbours. The fourth book describes theattack which Darius himself led against the Scythian...s in revenge forthe twenty-eight years' slavery they inflicted on the Medes. Adescription of Scythia is relieved by an account of thecircumnavigation of Africa by the Phoenicians and the voyage of Scylaxdown the Indus and along the coast of Africa to Egypt.
The war on the Scyths was dramatic and exciting, both sides acting inthe spirit of chivalry. Crossing the Bosporus, Darius advanced throughThrace to the Danube which he spanned with a bridge. The Scythsadopted the favourite Russian plan of retreating into the interior, destroying the crops and hovering round the foe; they further led thePersians into the territories of their own enemies.
