To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In their early history the Greeks gave but little thought to the arts of Carriers. The high- ways were poor and infested with robbers. They were a contentious, pugnacious race, at constant variance with each other. They loved war, but with the prudence of those who value property, abstained from burning each other's cities. " Herein they differed from all other peoples. When, however, at war with other nations (whom they classed indiscriminately as barbar- ians), they destroyed what they could ...not carry off, murdering or enslaving the inhabitants with- out mercy. The Greeks were at once crafty and unscrupu- lous; refined and brutal, artistic and sensual, but wise beyond all other men. Prize fighting was one of their favorite amusements. At such times the hands and lower arms of the combatants were encased in leathern thongs loaded with lead. Prizes were awarded the victor as they are to-day. In the encounter between Hercules and Eryax the prize was the kingdom of Sicily. Ulysses fought Irus for the right to solicit alms.
