What reading level is Travel Adventure And Sport From Blackwoods Magazine volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
About eight o'clock next morning (April 5) we set off on horseback for Olympia. At first the road lay through a richly-cultivated plain ; then ascending a little, we passed through a picturesque break in a low range of hills, into the valley of the Alpheus, and were soon in sight of the famous plain of Olympia. It is a rich alluvial plain, covered with luxuriant vegetation, and watered by the Alpheus, which comes down loaded with soil from the Arcadian mountains, and receives, just below the po...int where in former times the temples stood and the games were held, the waters of the Cladeus, rushing down from the hills of Elis. Green hills, covered with trees, stand around the plain, broken only by these two river valleys. One low knoll, rising immediately to the northward of the Alpheus, is Mount Kronion. Greek legend tells us that here Kronos had his seat, and that in memory of his overthrow these Olympian games were instituted by Zeus, his son and van- quisher. At the foot of this hill was the Altis, the sacred grove, where stood statues and altars innumer- able ; while between this and the Alpheus stood the three great temples of Olympian Zeus, of Hera his wife, and of the Mother of the Gods.
