What reading level is Ancient Greece a Sketch of Its Art Literature Philosophy Viewed in Connexion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The character of Cleon as drawn by Aristophanes, who was an aristocrat in politics and his private enemy, as well as by Thucydides, who was banished by his influence, is that of a loud-voiced, brutal, overbearing demagogue, one of the most pernicious products of the dicasteries and the Bcclesia ; and, after making all due allowances for personal dislike and for 333 ANCIENT GREECE political rancour, as well as for the exaggerations of comic caricature, this tanner or leather-seller, who has been... sedu- lously whitewashed by some modern writers, seems to have really been something very like the picture given by his two great contemporaries. That on one occasion, as we shall see, he gained a remarkable success, and that his chau- vinistic war-policy may have been more to the advantage of the Athenian Empire than that advocated by the milder-tempered Nicias, can be allowed without causing us to exchange the portrait of the man given us by Aristophanes in his Knights for that offered by writers who describe him as a " great Opposition speaker/' not more unnecessarily virulent than Demosthenes, Cicero, Milton, or Chatham, and withal a discoverer and castigator of social and political scandals and a true friend of the poorer classes.
