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

It was very late in the history of Hellenism that any mention of the learning of foreign languages meets us.
Even in the wide studies pursued at Alexandria, no sys- tematic course in languages is ever mentioned ; and people still had recourse in international business to those who happened to be born of mixed marriages, or by some other accident had been compelled to acquire a second tongue.
There is, indeed, much curious evidence that the Greeks, being really bad linguists, found great difficu
...lty in acquir- ing the Latin tongue, even when it became the language of the rulers of the world. 8 Strabo* notes that whenever 1 The objections of the Eleatics and Platonists to the moral side of Homer and the other epic poets will be discussed in connection with the philosophic attempts at reform in higher education.
8 Plutarch (" Life of Demosth.," 2) laments his inability to master Latin, and the difficulties it presents when not acquired very early.
3 iii. 4, 19.
