What reading level is The Legacy of Greece book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
G. As an oblique section of a rightcylinder, there is no doubt that he produced all three conics from rightcones like his predecessors. Apollonius, however, obtains them in themost general way by cutting any oblique cone, and his original axes ofreference, a diameter and the tangent at its extremity, are in generaloblique; the fundamental properties are found with reference to theseaxes by 'application of areas', the three varieties of which, _application_ (παραβολη {parabolê}), application wit...h an _excess_(ὑπερβολη {hyperbolê}) and application with a _deficiency_ (ελλειψις{elleipsis}), give the properties of the three curves respectively andaccount for the names _parabola_, _hyperbola_, and _ellipse_, by whichApollonius called them for the first time. The principal axes onlyappear, as a particular case, after it has been shown that the curveshave a like property when referred to any other diameter and the tangentat its extremity, instead of those arising out of the originalconstruction.
