What reading level is Greek Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After the fall of the Thirty Tyrants PHILOSOPHY: PLATO, ARISTOTLE 61 an indictment was brought against Socrates by Anytus, an honest but narrow-minded democrat. He was charged with irreligion and the corruption of youth. Scorning flight or recantation, he was sentenced to death, and met his end with a martyr's courage.
No cosmogony or body of doctrine emanated from Socrates. It is in the aim and method of philosophy that he was an innovator. The axiom of his teaching is that virtue is knowledge.... Men sin through ignorance. No one willingly chooses the worse rather than the better. Therefore men must be taught to know the good. The majority of mankind have no clear notions of the moral principles which they obey. Hence Socrates sought for definitions, and arrived at general concepts by inductive reasoning.
Of the various schools of philosophy which claimed descent from Socratic teaching, three may be men- tioned. Antisthenes (c. 422 B. C. ) was the founder of the Cynics, whose doctrines were self-sufficiency and contempt for the world.
