What reading level is Essays On Art And Archaeology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Probably the oldest extant sepulchral inscriptions are those in the island of Thera (Santorin), which contain merely the name of the deceased graven on the rocks in characters thought by Kirchhoff to be not later than Olymp. 40 (b. O. 620), and which L. Ross ascribed to an even higher antiquity. ^^^ 198 ESSAYS ON AECH^OLOGY. [iv.
Next iu date to these TlieraDan inscriptions may be placed the few specimens from Athens and -(^gina, of which facsimiles are given in Kirchhofif (Corpus, Parti. ). Th...ese early epitaphs are very brief, containing little more than the name of the deceased and of his father. Some- times they are metrical, and the form of metre preferred is an elegiac distich. It was in the composition of these distichs that Simonides was so celebrated. His epitaph on those who fell at Thermopylae, " Stranger, tell Lacedaemou that we lie here in obedience to her laws, " will be forgotten only when the memory of Thermopylae itself shall have passed away. The brevity and simplicity of these early epitaphs are quite in harmony with the law by which Solon enacted that no sepulchral monument should be permitted at Athens which could not be com- pleted by ten men in the course of three days, and with the rule proposed by Plato in his ideal laws, that the width of sepulchral marbles should not exceed the space required for four hexameter verses.
