What reading level is Greek Culture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here the early systems of philosophy which had arisen in distant Asia Minor or near-by Megara were sifted and incorporated into the native systems of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Here were developed tragedy and oratory; hither came comedy from Syracuse. Here the Homeric poems were learned by heart as the one basic element of education; and tragedies founded upon stories from the great epic tradition became familiar to a populace, large numbers of whom in course of time took part in the choru...ses.
In this period, Athenian life was characterized by the dominance of a regulated imagination in every Greek Culture sphere of activity, and by a complete interpenetration of theory and practice. Imagination, hand in hand with reason, appeared in the ordering of the State, in the development of commerce and colonies, in the public festivals and religion, in the consummation of every fine and every useful art. In fact, the distinc- tion between fine and useful art was not observed, so that even the commonest utensils became objects of beauty, to be wondered at by subsequent ages.
