What reading level is A History of the World From the Earliest Records to the Present Time Ancient H book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After achieving the conquest of Peloponnesus, the Dorians made repeated inroads into Attica. An oracle promised them the victory, if they spared the life of the king; but their hopes were frustrated by the self-devotion of the king, Codrus, who entered their camp in disguise, provoked a quarrel, and was slain. * Resolving that the royal title should never be borne by one less worthy, the Athenians substituted for it that of Archon {Euler\ which remained hereditary in the family of Codrus for th...irteen genera- tions. The last of these Perpetual Archons was Medon (b. C. 752), Upon his death, the duration of the office was limited to ten years, but it remained in the family of Codrus till b. C. 714, when it was thrown open to all the nobles.
At length, in b. C. 683, the executive of Athens was cast into its final form. Nine archons were elected year by year from the nobles. The first was called, by way of dignity, simply ArcJion, and also Archon Epony7nus, \ because, in the Athenian reckoning, each year was distinguished by the name of its chief magistrate.
