What reading level is History of Greece 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

435), Bbdsns fought one day as the ally of Troy, and did such terrific damage, that the Greeks had no other means of averting total destruction from his hand on the next day, except by killing him during the night. And the Euripidean drama, called ShisttSy though representing the latter as a new-comer, yet puts into the mouth of Athene the like overwhelming predictions of what he would do on the coming day, if suffered to live ; so that to kill him in the night is the only way of saving the Gre...eks (Eurip. Bh^. 602) : moreover, Eh§su8 him- self is there brought forward as talking with such overweening insolence, that the sympathies of man, and the envy of the gods, are turned against him {ib. 458).
But the story is best known in the form and with the addition (equally unknown to the Biad) which ViigU has adopted. It was decreed by fate that, if the splendid horses of Bh^os were permitted once either to taste the Trojan provender, or to drink of the river Xanthus, nothing could preserve the Greeks from ruin ( JCneid, L 468, with Servius, ad loc.) : — *^ Nee procul hinc Bhesi niveis tentoria velis Agnoscit lacrymans : primo qun prodita somno Tydides muM vastabat csede crucntus : Ardentesque avertit equos in castra, priusquam Pabula gustassent Trojce, Xanthumque bibissent** AH these versions are certainly improvements upon the story as it stands in JbeBiad.
