What reading level is Five Stages of Greek Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dionysus had started from India and travelled in the other direction:that was the only difference. A flood of light seemed to be thrown onall the traditional mythology, which, of course, had always been apuzzle to thoughtful men. It was impossible to believe it as it stood, and yet hard--in an age which had not the conception of any science ofmythology--to think it was all a mass of falsehood, and the great Homerand Hesiod no better than liars. But the generation which witnessed theofficial dei...fication of the various Seleucidae and Ptolemies seemedsuddenly to see light. The traditional gods, from Heracles and Dionysusup to Zeus and Cronos and even Ouranos, were simply old-world rulers andbenefactors of mankind, who had, by their own insistence or thegratitude of their subjects, been transferred to the ranks of heaven. For that is the exact meaning of making them divine: they are classedamong the true immortals, the Sun and Moon and Stars and Corn and Wine, and the everlasting elements.
