What reading level is Contributions to the Science of Mythology 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have only to admit what has never been doubted that Artemis, such as we know her, received special worship from the Arkadians. Almost every Greek race, as we saw, tried to trace its origin back to Zeus. If then the Arkas, the ancestor of Arkades, had been recognised as one of the many sons of Zeus, who could well be his mother, if not the favourite goddess of the country, that is Artemis, under one of her many names ? One of her names was Kallistd, the most beautiful. But how could the virgi...n goddess herself be the mother of 738 ARTEMIS. [chap.
Arkas ? This being impossible, her worshippers had no great trouble in finding a way out of their difficulty, by slightly changing the name of KallistS into Kallist6, and representing her, not as the goddess herself, but to one of her attendant companions.
However, even thus Kallisto had incurred not only the jealousy of H^re, but likewise the anger of Artemis, and as the name of Arkas reminded the Arkadians of ai*ktos or arkos, bear, and as there was a famous arktos, the Ursa Major, as a constellation in the sky, what was more natural, I ask again, than that Kallist6 should be changed into an arktos, a she-bear, slain by Artemis, and then placed by Zeus, her lover, in the sky as the bright star shining in the winter nights ?
