What reading level is The Birds of Aristophanes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His oracles, some of which are preserved by Herodotus and Pausanias, wore in hexameter verse. See, for example, Hdt. VIII. 20, 77. He is mentioned also in the Knights and Peace of Aristophanes. There was a col- lection of his oracles, like the Sibylline books at Rome.
These oracles are here burlesqued, as well as the supersti- tion of consulting soothsayers, like Lampon, for instance, before engaging in any enterprise of moment. The temper of mind which led the Athenians to find some ancient or...acle applicable to any remarkable event which happened may be illustrated from Thucydides, in his account of the com- mencement of the Peloponnesian war. But the disposition exists everywhere among men. Scarcely a day passes without some ancient prediction appearing in the newspa- pers, by which present events have been foretold. But the whole race of soothsayers, and their tricks and evasions, are mercilessly dealt with more than once by Aristophanes.
959, 960. For irpiv olKlaai after a negative sentence, see G.
