What reading level is Homer And Classical Philology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is evident that that generation founditself unable to grasp a personality and the limits of itsmanifestations. Homer had now become of small consequence. And then wemeet with the weighty question: What lies before this period? HasHomer's personality, because it cannot be grasped, gradually faded awayinto an empty name? Or had all the Homeric poems been gathered togetherin a body, the nation naively representing itself by the figure ofHomer? _Was the person created out of a conception, or the... conceptionout of a person?_ This is the real "Homeric question, " the centralproblem of the personality.
The difficulty of answering this question, however, is increased when weseek a reply in another direction, from the standpoint of the poemsthemselves which have come down to us. As it is difficult for us at thepresent day, and necessitates a serious effort on our part, tounderstand the law of gravitation clearly--that the earth alters itsform of motion when another heavenly body changes its position in space, although no material connection unites one to the other--it likewisecosts us some trouble to obtain a clear impression of that wonderfulproblem which, like a coin long passed from hand to hand, has lost itsoriginal and highly conspicuous stamp.
