What reading level is Homer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Particular Virtues and Failings. — Let us conclude with a few notes on particulars. Wine was sociably enjoyed, but drunkenness was abhorred, and is always followed by calamity ; it partakes of brutal excess, dishonours nature, and therefore is much 8* 112 HOMER. [CHAP. More than merely disapproved. Sexual frailty exists among Achaians, only in narrow measure. A certain element of boastfulness is discoverable even in so gallant a chief as Diomed. Nor is he ashamed to take an advantage of Glaukos... in the friendly exchange of arms, copper against gilded, nine oxens' worth for the value of one hundred. The tender affections are most freely exercised, in kissing on the side of joy, tears on the side of sorrow, and by none more freely than by the great Protagonists, Achilles and Odusseus. On one important and characteristic subject, the exposure of the person to view, the men of that time had a peculiar and fastidious delicacy. The self- possession and self-command of every Greek are perfect.
