What reading level is Studies of the Greek Poets book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In the next quotation, beautiful by reason of its plainness, a young man is reminded of the sweetness of a mother's love : t oilK IffTlV oiSh flTITpbs f/5lO>' TiKVOiS.

The sentiment here expressed seems to be contradicted by a fragment from an unknown play (No. 887), where a son tells his ...mother that he cannot be expected to cling to her as much as to his father. The Greeks, as we gather from the Oresteia of ^schylus, believed that the male offspring was specially related by sympathy, duty, and hereditary qualities to his father. The contrast between women and men in respect to the paternal home is well conveyed in the following four lines : " Lady, the sun's light to our eyes is dear, And fair the tranquil reaches of the sea, And flowery earth in May, and bounding waters ; And so right many fair things I might praise ; Yet liothing is so radiant and so fair As for souls childless, with desire sore-smitten.
