What reading level is Lectures On Greek Poetry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" Even Aristotle misses, at least he does not bring out, the full significance of this profound and many-facetted sentence. What he meant — if one may infer his meaning from study of his actual productions — was not that his persons were conventionally idealised ; it was that they were more real than reality. His characters express themselves often, we may think, inadequately : quite so ; that is because he creates and envisages them vitally, and it is they who speak and act, as though with an ...independent substantive life of their own. Thus it is that on the one hand what they say is often so close to the vocabulary and structure of everyday Attic speech, that it is best illustrated from, and has to be studied by scholars in connection with, the idiom and language of contemporary prose authors. Thus, too, it is that on the other hand it often seems to fall short of the occasion, and has given rise to the charge that the people of Sophocles are stiff and conventional. They do not, like those of Aeschylus, speak a super- human language, as When a God gives sign With hushing finger, how he means to load His tongue with the full weight of utterless thought, With thunder and with music and with pomp.
