What reading level is The Open Court 22, No.620, C.1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The exact manner of presenting the legend is unknown to us, yet enough has been written by the Greek historians to show the general plan of its structure. There was always some deity or hero, possessed of attributes most beneficial to the race of men, — as Persephone, Bacchus or Osiris ; then there was the disappearance or murder of this personage brought about by some enemy — as Pluto, the Titans, or Typhon. This event w'as followed by the de- spairing search for the lost one by some relative ...or friend — as Demeter or Isis — until finally the drama is brought to a triumphant close by the restoration of the departed to the anxious searchers.
In the case of the legends of these mysteries we have typical examples of solar myths, as was w^ell known to Plutarch and Dio- dorus who have given us an explanation of their meaning. The loss of the life-giving heat of the sun during the months of winter and its reappearance in spring to the expectant earth are well exem- 4-6 THE OPEN COURT.
