What reading level is Odysseus in America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Odysseus was extremely productive in all of those military endeavors that involve mētis— cunning intelligence, deception, reconnaissance, manipulation, secrecy, spying, and strategy.1 It’s hard to overstate the military value of these capacities. Good reconnaissance and intelligence allow the soldier to evade the enemy’s traps and to lay his own. Both are keys to winning fights with minimum casualties, good reasons for Athena’s moniker as “The Soldier’s Friend.” She was the goddess of mētis. The... ancient Chinese military philosopher Sun Tzu sings the praises of reconnaissance and spying in the final chapter of The Art of War: So what enables an intelligent government and wise military leadership to overcome others and achieve extraordinary accomplishment is foreknowledge. Foreknowledge cannot be gotten from ghosts and spirits, cannot be had by analogy, cannot be found out by calculation. It must be obtained from people, people who know the conditions of the enemy.2 Odysseus was also a spy.
