What reading level is India As Known to the Ancient World Or Indias Intercourse in Ancient Times Wi book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Greeks of Asia Minor had of course belonged to the same empire as a part of the Indian nation, so that com- merce was early able to bring into the Punjab the products of Greek art ; and philosophical ideas such as the Indian doctrine of the transmigration of souls found their way to Greek territory. It is certain that the Indians had become familiar with the Greek alphabet at the time of the grammarian Panini, about 4th century B. C. , but it was not until Alexander's expedition, that the I...ndian trade, which was now so important to Alexandria, became a part of Greek commerce. The Indian custom of ornamenting golden vessels with precious stones was adopted in the sphere of Greek culture ; and Indian jacinth became a favourite material with lapidaries. With the Indian precious stones came their names, opal, beryl, etc. Into the West. Indian fables influenced the Greek travellers' tales and the Greeks welcomed the fantasies of the Indian folklore. In the age subsequent to Alexander, a flourishing commerce was maintained with India and Megasthenes in astonishment tells us of the marvellous country its splendid mountains and groves, its smiling, well- watered plains and the strong, proud race of men who breathe the pure air.
