What reading level is Eileithyia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Pp. 197 sq. Cp. V. Sybe'l, Skulpt. In Athen, 591-594.
258] EILEITHYIA 51 for instance, in the gardens of Pompeii, which served as mere decorations or as fountain figures, then, of course, they belong to the class of genre sculptures. It, is moreover quite possible that the types of such genre statuettes which served mere decorative purposes in Roman times may, have been originally invented for religious purposes, and may have been offerings set up in the sanctuary of a goddess of 'childbirth an...d Kourotrophos.
That Eileithyia was regarded not only in Agrai, Olympia, and Thera as a tutelary goddess of children besides holding the office of goddess of delivery is clearly seen by the finds from her grotto- sanctuary on the island of Paros. There Dr. Rubensohn dis- covered a life-sized marble statue of a boy squatting on the ground, and along with it a miniature marble copy of the same statue, as well as a large number of similar figures in terra-cotta. The charming individuality of the above-mentioned statues of little girls found in Agrai is entirely lacking in the figures from Paros.
