What reading level is Greece: I. Legendary Greece. Ii. Grecian History to the Reign of ..., volume 8 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Kreon having ordered her to be buried alive, his youthful son Hsemon, her betrothed lover, is plunged into a heart-rending conflict between abhor- rence of such cruelty on the one side, and submission to his father on the other. Sophokles sets forth both these contending rules of duty in an elaborate scene of dialogue between the father and the son. Here are two rules both sacred and respect- able, but the one of which cannot be observed without violating the other. Since a choice must be made,... which of the two ought a good man to obey ? This is a point which the great poet is well pleased to leave undetermined. But if there be any among the audience in whom the least impulse of intellectual speculation is alive, he will by no means leave it so, without some mental effort to solve the problem, and to discover some grand and comprehensive principle from whence all the moral rules emanate ; a principle such as may instruct his conscience in those cases generally, of not unfrequent occurrence, wherein iwo obligatioiis conflict with each other.
