What reading level is An Introduction to the English Classics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Achilles' vengeance appears to have been greater than even the gods could approve, but Ulysses' deed is considered as only a just retribution for the wicked suitors. So, too, in the case of the final destruction of Troy, which Homer had in mind when the Iliad was written; it was an act of requital, an act of Homeric justice.
These are but a few of the points of interest in these famous poems.
Digitized by LjOOQIC THE ILIAD 141 THE ILIAD The Setting. The time of the action is so remote that it i...s im- possible to tell within several centuries when it occurred. The scene is in and around the ancient city of Troy, on the coast of Asia Minor. The ruins of several cities have been found here successively superimposed one upon another, but practically all that we know about ancient Troy is what Homer tells us. The Greeks are encamped near the shore and are besieging the Trojans, who, however, often sally forth. Then great deeds are done ; heroes fight and gods and goddesses lend aid. Occasion- ally the scene shifts to Mt Olympus, and then the gods are the actors.
