What reading level is Greece book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is most unlikely that there was AEGEAN CIVILIZATION ^7 2000-1000 B. C.
ever a time when the merchants from the East controlled the main bulk of the Aegean commerce. But they must have possessed a fair share of it. Pushing on by Cyprus and Asia Minor to the Cyclades and the Grecian mainland, this enterprising race searched out every bay and mountain for their natural products. On the coasts of Laconia and Crete they dredged up the shell-fish which gave them the much-prized purple dye. In Thas...os they discovered silver, and turned up whole mountains from top to bottom by their mining operations. Where the land had no mineral riches to develop, they opened up trade with the inhabitants, and exchanged the fine fabrics of Eastern looms and the highly-wrought metal work of the Levant for corn, slaves, wine, pottery, and timber, and such other commodities as the natives could produce. To facilitate their traffic they built fortified factories on well-placed islands and promontories. They did not usually penetrate far from the coast, but the legend of Cadmus of Thebes seems to show at least one case in which the Phoenician trader pushed boldly inland, and built his settlement twelve or fifteen miles from the sea.
