What reading level is Hellenic Conceptions of Peace book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The culmination of Lydian control came after Croesus had made war upon the cities singly and subdued again all but Miletus. He followed his conquest up by making treaties of alliance with the islanders and by showering favors upon such centers of Greek influence as the Delphic oracle. As a result of his desires to win Greek friendship the burden of his rule was so light that the cities refused to revolt at the request of Cyrus of Persia. After the overthrow of Croesus, Cyrus accordingly refus...ed to allow them to retain their former arrangements with the Lydian kingdom, ex- cept for Miletus, which was granted its old terms. In spite of the fact that these cities were by far the feeblest of all the Greek states, with no great cities save Miletus, whose support they lacked, they determined to resist. They fortified their towns, held meetings to secure united action and sent abroad to Sparta for aid. It was on this occasion that Thales ad- vised the union of the Ionians into a single state with Teos as its center, the cities retaining their local autonomy.
