What reading level is On Translating Homer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Newman's version for passages likely to raise a laugh; that search, alas ! would be far too easy. I will quote but one other passage from him, and that a passage where the diction is comparatively inoffensive, in order that disapproval of the words may not unfairly heighten disapproval of the rhythm. The end of the nineteenth book, the answer of AchiUes to his horse Xanthus, Mr. Newman gives thus : — Chestnut ! why bodest death to me ? from thee this was not needed. Myself right surely know als...6, that 't is my doom to perish, From mother and from father dear apart, in Troy ; but never Pause will I make of war, until the Trojans be glutted. He spake, and yelling, held afront the single-hoofed horses. Here Mr. Newman calls Xanthus Chestnut, indeed, as he calls Balius Spotted, and Podarga Spry-foot; which is as if a Frenchman were to call Miss Nightin- gale Mdlle. Rossignol, or Mr. Bright M. Clair. And several other expressions, too, ' yelling,' ' held afront,' ' single-hoofed,' — leave, to say the very least, much to be desired.
