What reading level is The Greek Tradition Essays in the Reconstruction of Ancient Thought book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Persephone is the more familiar name of the goddess also named KorS. The Greek in fact says Korfe here.
The Chorus, addressing Alcestis in Euripides' play, says: Minstrels many shall praise thy name With lyre full-strung and ivith voices lyreless.
When Mid-Moon riseth, an orbed flame.
And from dusk to dawning the dance is tireless; And Carnos cometh to Spartds call.
And Athens shineth in festival j For thy death is a song, and a fullness of fame.
Till the heart of the singer is left desireless....
This is to say, at the solemn feast of the Camea at Sparta, and on some similar occasion at Athens, the legend of Alcestis was chanted, and probably in some way dramatically rendered. But Athens and Sparta are not Pherae ; and Pherae (one is almost bound to suppose) must be the true home of her myth and of the rite with which the myth was associated. Was the story of Alcestis annually represented in song and action at Pherae ? It looks as if it was. She had a known and conspicuous tomb there.
Heracles.
