What reading level is Homer the Odyssey book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The king's son does not disdain to guide " the blind ringers ; " and when the song is over, the herald leads him care- fully to his place at the banquet, where his portion is of the choicest — "the chine of the white-tusked boar. " The subject of his lay is the tale which charms all hearers — Phaeacian, Greek, or Eoman, ancient or modern, then as now — the tale of Troy. Touched with the remembrances which the song awakens, Ulysses wraps his face in his mantle to hide his rising tears. The king ...marks his guest's emotion : too courteous to allude to it, he contents hiuiself with rising at once from the banquet-table, and giving order for the sports to begin. Foot-race, wrestling, quoit- throwing, and boxing, all have their turn ; and in all the king's sons take their part, not unsuccessfully. It is suggested at last that the stranger, who stands silently looking on, should exhibit some feat of strength or skill. Ulysses declines — he has no heart just now for pastimes. Then one of the young Phseacians, Euryaius, who has just won the wrestling-match, gives ULYSSES WITH TEE PHjEACIANS.
