What reading level is Pausanias, And Other Greek Sketches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— Between the valley of Cleonae on the east and the valley of Phlius or St. George on the west is interposed the valley of Nemea, running like its sister valleys from south to north. It is a narrow dale, some two or three miles long, and from half to three-quarters of a mile broad. At its northern end it contracts to a mere gully.
Through the bottom of the valley, which is almost a dead flat, meanders like a thread the brook Nemea, fed by the numerous rills which descend from the neighbouring h...ills. When swollen by heavy rain, these tributaries, having an insufficient outlet through the gully at the 238 NEMEA north end, keep the bottom of the valley green, moist, and marshy. The dale is thus better adapted for pasturage than tillage; indeed from the rich pastures which clothe its bottom and the lower slopes of the hills it received its name of Nemea, ^the pastoral vale.' But if the valley itself, especially after rain, is green and smilii^, the surrounding hills, scarred and seamed with the beds of torrents, are of a dark and melancholy hue, and, combined with the absolute solitude — not a human habitation being visible through the length and breadth of the dale — ^affect the mind with a sense of gloom and desolation.^ The solitude is only broken by the wandering herds of cattle, and from time to time by a group of peasants, who come over from St George to till their fields in this secluded valley.
