What reading level is Hellenica; a Collection of Essays On Greek Poetry, Philosophy, History, And Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our monarchy, our feudal aristocracy, our representative government, were things unknown to them, and the most democratic of their democracies we- should call an oligarchy. But these principles remain. The first of them modern States attempt to carry out in various ways. From the very force of circumstances we are even less tempted than the Greeks to translate the truth that reason alone has a " divine right " to rule, into the dictum that philo- sophers should be kings ; but it is still possib...le to forget that wealth and numbers have no political value except as symbols, and that political machinery is very far from being an end in ' The absolute kingship described above is of course the exact opposite of tyranny. It has been supposed that, in speaking of it, Aristotle was thinking of Alexander, and the enthusiasm of his language is certainly striking. But it is almost incredible that such an opinion of the new military monarchy should have left so little trace on the structure of his whole political theory.
