What reading level is Leonidas a Poem volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On their woolly vests A sword is girt; and hairy hides compose Their bucklers round and small. The Mysians left Olympus wood-envelop'd ; left the meads "VVash'd by Cai'cus, and the baneful tide Of Lycus, nurse to serpents. Next advance An ancient nation, who in early times, By Trojan arms assail'd, their native land Esteem'd less dear than freedom, and exchang'd Their seat on Strymon, where in Thrace he pours A freezing current, for the distant flood 114 Of fishy Sangar. These, Bithynians nam'd..., Their habitation to the sacred feet Of Dindymus extend. Yet there they groan Beneath oppression, and their freedom mourn On Sangar now, as once on Strymon, lost. The ruddy skins of foxes cloth'd their heads. Their shields were fashion'd like the horned moon. A vest embrac'd their bodies; while abroad, Ting'd with unnumber'd hues, a mantle flow'd. But other Thracians, who their former name Retain'd in Asia, fulgent morions wore, With horns of bulls, in imitating brass, Curv'd o'er the crested ridge.
