What reading level is Excursions in Greece to Recently Explored Sites of Classical Interest ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These were not generally casual gifts, given by chance and due to a liberality which would not recur ; each year the return of the same festivals brought the return of the same embassies laden with splendid presents.
They were, so to speak, perpetual pious foundations which the princes of the East had established at Delos, and on the solemn feast-days celebrated in their honour and called by their names, the Ptolemies, the Antigoni, the Demetrii, would have appeared ungracious indeed, if they h...ad not regularly shown their gratitude by some magnificent present. Private persons and rich merchants who came to Delos emulated the kings, and lastly the Delian community itself made rich presents to the god to whom it owed everything. As long as the prosperity of the sacred island lasted the stream of offerings never slackened, and an epitome of the whole history of Delos is presented in the catalogues which enumerate them.
To preserve these treasures and keep them in order was no easy matter, and to the difficulty it presented we owe the curious inventories which give us so much information as to the Delians.
