What reading level is Religion in Greek Literature a Sketch in Outline book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As many families coalesced into one clan, the common ancestor of the clan must either be found or invented, and every tribe or district which came under a common government had its epony- mous hero, whose worship symbolised the bond of union. As these units again coalesced into a greater whole in forming the city, the many festivals in honour of these ancestors, real or supposed, were sometimes united into one, as in the Athenian or rather Ionian feast of the Apaturia. The founder of a colony, ...who carried with him the sacred fire from the mother-city, invariably received such honours after death ; and other sacred associations led to the multi- K 2 132 RELIGION IN GREEK LITERATURE plication of such rites, as, for example, the worship of Pelops at Olympia.
This tendency remained a living power in Greece far on into historical times ; we know that Hagnon and Brasidas were so worshipped successively at Amphipolis, and the power of the local hero was the object of such vivid belief that the presence even of his image with the army was regarded as conducive to victory.
