What reading level is Pompeii: Its History, Buildings, And Antiquities. An Account of the Destruction of the City, With a Full Description of the Remains, And of the Recent Excavations, And Also An Itinerary for Visitors book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
8. Eoom, probably of the atriensis, the slave who had charge of the house. 9. Kitchen.
10. Shop.
This house was formerly decorated with paiutings taken from the Odyssey, and from the elegant fictions of Grecian mythology. When Mazois visited it in 1812, two paintings in the atrium were still in existence, thouj^h in a very perishing state. Shortly after he had copied them they fell, owing to the plaster detaching itself from the wall. One of them is taken from the Odyssey, and represents Ulysse...s and Circe, at PEIVATE HOUSES. 313 the moment wlien the hero, having drank the charmed cup with impunity, by virtue of the antidote given him by Mercury, draws his sword and advances to avenge his com- panions.* The goddess, terrified, makes her submission at once, as described by Homer, while her two attendants fly in alarm ; yet one of them, with a natural curiosity, cannot resist the temptation to look back, and observe the termination of Painting representing Circe and Ulysses.
BO unexpected a scene.
