What reading level is Persia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And the king seized a flambeau with zeal to destroy ; Thais led the way, To light him to his prey.
And, like another Helen, fired another Troy." The burning of Persepolis was a mistake, whether done in a moment of wild frenzy, or as an act of profound policy. He who wars against the arts, wars not against nations, but against mankind.
After the defeat at Arbela, Darius Codomanus, still accompanied by a large army, including the contingent of Greek mercenaries who remained by him to the last, fl...ed to the northeast. Another monarch or general, with the least spirit and with such forces operating in his own country, might easily have continued to offer such resistance to Alexander and his moderate-sized army that might have at last brought them to ruin. But Darius was of the stuff of which they are made who throw away what their fathers have accumulated. The founders and the losers of great empires are cast in different moulds. In Bactria, Darius at last met his fate ; he was assassinated by Bessus, a satrap of that province, and the dynasty of the Achemenidae established by Cyrus the First came to an end.
