What reading level is Outlines of Primitive Belief Among the Indo European Races book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'They put on golden armour; their spears send down tparks. They lift the mountains ; the forest trees shake before them. ' When the lightning has gone forth and the thunder rolled, then Athene, the cloud, has laid aside her weapons. Who does not know the stillness with which nature awaits that moment of flash and crash ? Here it is recorded how the salt wave stood still and the glorious sun stayed the going of his steeds, until the maid put from her shoulders that immortal panoply : and counsel...led Zeus rejoiced —the sky itself grew clear.
It is in her aspect as a grim storm goddess that Athene first appears to us in Greek poetry. It is in virtue of this fighting power that she is iroXias, city guardian. We see that well enough by the epithets which follow one another in the hymn. Athene is ' untender-hearted ' (dfislXc^ov rjrop s-^ovaa), and therefore 'revered ' (alBoir] ) ; and because she was so dread and so revered she was the best of guardians for the city. Wherefore it was that the oldest temple to Athene at Athens was the temple of Athene Polias, and therefore was it that she was worshipped in so many towns under that name.
