What reading level is Dublin in Irish Legend book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was named Aithirne Ailghesach, or Aithirne the Importu- nate, from the fact that he never asked for a gift or preferred a request, but such as it was especially difficult to give, or dishonourable to grant. The poet set out from the Court of Ulster on a round of visits to the other provincial kings of Ireland, resolved that his conduct and demands should be so insulting as to force them to acts of hostility to him, which would bring down on them the overwhelming strength of Ulster and her Re...d Branch champions. With this object he insolently demanded the most costly gifts, which were yielded to him for the sake of peace. His powers as a satirist were so dreaded that Eochaid, King of Mid-Erin, bestowed on Aithirne his one remaining eye, which the presumptuous poet de- manded of the already mutilated king, hardly expecting that his request would be granted, but desirous, if met 20 by a refusal, of fixing a quarrel. In Leinster, at King Mesgedra's Court in Naas, Aithirne demanded the gift of seven hundred white cows with red ears, and one hundred and fifty of the wives and daughters of the Leinster nobles to be carried into bondage in Ulster.
