What reading level is Odyssey book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
** The wind took me from Ilios and bore me to the Ciconians, to Ismarus. There I destroyed the town and slew its men ; but from the town we took the wo- men and great stores of treasure, and parted all, that none might go lacking his proper share. This done, I warned our men swiftly to fly ; but they, in utter folly, did not heed. Much wine was drunk, and they slaughtered on the shore a multitude of sheep and swing-paced, crook-homed oxen. Meanwhile, escaped Ciconians began to call for aid on t...hose Ciconians who were their neighbors and more numerous and brave than they, — a people dwelling inland, skillful at fighting in chariot or on foot, as need might be.
Accordingly at dawn they gathered, thick as leaves and flowers appear in spring. And now an evil fate from Zeus beset our luckless men, causing us many sorrows ; for setting the battle in array by the swift ships, all fought and hurled their .brazen spears at one another. While it was morning and the day grew stronger, we steadily kept them off and held our ground, though they, were more than we ; but as the sun declined, toward stalling-time, then the Ciconians turned our men and routed the Achaeans.
