What reading level is The Oration of Demosthenes On the Crown book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
180. /SovXct] This is a common form of the second per^ son singular indicative of this verb, instead of /SovXiy. While the clerk was getting ready to read the decree just called for, the orator employs the time in rendering ridiculous, in ▼iew of his eminent services on this occasion, the nick- name Batalus, given him in youth on account of his staro« mering (often alluded to by iEschines in his speeches, as F. L., p. 41). I am aware that a different origin has been assigned to this name, which... iEschines follows in his ora- tion against Timarchus (p. 18). But this is evidently noth- ing more than a play upon the word, as /SaroXor, according to Passow, meant both a stammerer and an efieminate or debauched person ; which latter meaning iEschines gave to it, on account of its conveying a greater reproach. Fur- thermore, the common tradition that Batalus, from whom the name was derived, was a flute-player, would seem to indicate that the nickname had reference to some defect in the manner of his speaking ; as the blowing of wind-instru- ments oflen affects the voice, and especially gives to the performer that inflation of the cheeks which is common in mouthing*and bad speakers.
