What reading level is Demosthenic Style in the Private Orations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
14, 31. 10. 12 Jin. , 36. 21. 34, 37. 34. 54, 39. 13, 38. 16. 26, 41. 20. 24, 45. 26. 30. 50, 54- 41 fin. 45- 78-80; sometimes is confined to a brief phrase or two, as in 31. 12, 41. 26, 45. 84, 57. 31. The apostrophe is essentially pas- sionate in tone, and is therefore in general not used by Demos- thenes as a mere vehicle of argument ; the exceptions are sus- ceptible of explanation on artistic grounds. So in certain rapid and brief passages (36. 10. 19. 22, 39. 24, 41. 26) the personality g...ives a sharper point to the argument, an effect which depends on the very brevity ; the incontrovertible statement is like a defiance flung at the adversary. 1 In 39. 28 we have a passage which may be explained by the influence of the dramatization in ri ovop. A- t having fallen thus into direct address, the orator continues it to the end of the short argument. Or. 31 (the second against Onetor), a very short and very passionate speech, closes in mingled apostrophe and interrogation; it would seem as if the reduction of these emotional figures to an argumentative and expostulatory tone were the only way in which the orator, with little space at his command, could pass from the vehement fierce- ness of eitetra TO deivoTarov and the sharp questions following it into the quieter and more dignified manner better suited for the delivery of the final words.
