What reading level is Greek Literature; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His thought moves confined by the limited boundaries of the Greek city state and the traditional and aristocratic classifi- cation of its citizens. His city is military, not economic and industrial. In his later years he planned to tell how that city would conduct itself in war, as if in such conduct its su- preme excellence would be disclosed. Those who entertain the ideal of a successful democracy are offended by his pa- ternalism and his contempt for the men who toil, the creatures whom God ...made mostly of clay. Yet through these limita- tions of time and place and circumstance rUns the conviction that it is futile to place any great confidence in individual virtue unless it is the reflection of a virtuous social order.
For man is the maker of cities, and is to be judged by the kind of city he makes. The types of government and the types of man go hand in hand. Are men just, courageous, temperate, and wise? Look to their city. That is Plato's challenge to civilization, a challenge which knows no limita- tions of time or place or circumstance.
