What reading level is Symposium book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I can assure you that I feel severelythe effect of yesterday's potations, and must have time to recover; andI suspect that most of you are in the same predicament, for you wereof the party yesterday. Consider then: How can the drinking be madeeasiest?
I entirely agree, said Aristophanes, that we should, by all means, avoidhard drinking, for I was myself one of those who were yesterday drownedin drink.
I think that you are right, said Eryximachus, the son of Acumenus; butI should still like to h...ear one other person speak: Is Agathon able todrink hard?
I am not equal to it, said Agathon.
Then, said Eryximachus, the weak heads like myself, Aristodemus, Phaedrus, and others who never can drink, are fortunate in findingthat the stronger ones are not in a drinking mood. (I do not includeSocrates, who is able either to drink or to abstain, and will not mind, whichever we do. ) Well, as of none of the company seem disposed to drinkmuch, I may be forgiven for saying, as a physician, that drinking deepis a bad practice, which I never follow, if I can help, and certainlydo not recommend to another, least of all to any one who still feels theeffects of yesterday's carouse.
