What reading level is The Greek Anthology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One of Meleager's favourite female friends bears the graceful name of Zenophil^ — if indeed she was not a mere poetical creation, for the mistresses of poets have not always been real personages. We shall give some of the epigrams upon her without further introduction.
The first, which describes the advent of spring, is translated by Professor Wilson himself, in a flowing and spirited style : — " 'Tis now that the white violets steal out the spring to greet, And that among his longed-for shower...s Narcissus smiles so sweet 'Tis now that lilies, upland bom, frequent the slopes of green.
And that the flower that lovers love, of all the flowers the queen, Without an equal anywhere in full-blown beauty glows ; Thou know'st it well, Zenophilfe ! Persuasion's flower, the Bose.
Ah ! why, ye hills and meadows, does bright laughter thus illume Your leafy haunts? so lavish why, and prodigal of bloom?
Not all the wreaths of all the flowers that Spring herself might cull As mine own Virgin e'er could be one-half so beautiful !
