What reading level is Lysis book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then one half of the saying is untrue, if the wicked are like oneanother?
That is true.
But the real meaning of the saying, as I imagine, is, that the good arelike one another, and friends to one another; and that the bad, asis often said of them, are never at unity with one another or withthemselves; for they are passionate and restless, and anything whichis at variance and enmity with itself is not likely to be in union orharmony with any other thing. Do you not agree?
Yes, I do.
Then, my fri...end, those who say that the like is friendly to the likemean to intimate, if I rightly apprehend them, that the good only is thefriend of the good, and of him only; but that the evil never attains toany real friendship, either with good or evil. Do you agree?
He nodded assent.
Then now we know how to answer the question 'Who are friends?' for theargument declares 'That the good are friends. ' Yes, he said, that is true.
Yes, I replied; and yet I am not quite satisfied with this answer. Byheaven, and shall I tell you what I suspect?
