What reading level is Virgil And Pollio An Essay On Virgils Eclogues Ii V book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So he had to look for a golden age, when Horace dreamed of happy islands; and when trying to get his fancies into a tangible shape, he con- nected them with the ultimate triumph of Caesar's dynasty.
In this respect, again, Virgil's ideas, though perhaps slightly in advance of that time, would soon be shared by the great bulk of his contemporaries. There were those, — 25 — as vet, — ami Pollio liimself was one of them, — who preferred Antony to Octavian, because the former had got to the top by ...liis talents, whereas the latter was indeb- ted wholly to his birth for liis commanding position in the empire. But still, the very fact that Octavian's po- wer equalled that of Antony, clearly showed how the idea of hereditary monarchy had gained ground among the Ro- mans. No Roman poet scruples to assign to Augustus a place among the Gods; but this is no mere flattery. Like Jupiter he ruled the Roman empire without having a fixed sphere of action in the mechanism of the Roman republic; like Jupiter he derived his power not from an act of the senate or the people, but from the mere fact of his exis- tence.
