What reading level is Curiosities of Judaism Facts Opinions Anecdotes And Remarks Relative to the H book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Conned. Sacred and Profane Literature.
CLASSICAL RESEMBLANCES.
The history of Jephtha's daughter bears a striking re- semblance to that of Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamem- non. Lucius Capellus is of opinion that the latter is borrowed from the former, and even that the Grecian maid obtained her name from the Hebrew judge, quasi Jeph- thigenia. It is at the same time amusing to find the heathen poet no less anxious than the Christian divine to save the reputation of the father from the stain o...f innocent blood. (See Ovid xii. , 31 36. ) A story, which in some parts reminds us of Jephtha's vow, is mentioned by Servius in his commentary on the Third Book of the ^Eneid. When Idomeneus, the King of Crete, and a descendant of Deucalion, was on his return home from the war of Troy, he was overtaken by a violent storm, during which he vowed to offer to the gods the object that should first meet him when he landed. It happened that his only son was the first to meet him, whom, as he was bound by oath, he proceeded to offer as a sacrifice.
