What reading level is Plutarch's Lives 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His mind was naturally disposed to virtue; and he still farther subdued it by discipline, patience, and philosophy ; not only purging it of the grosser and more infamous passions, but even of that ambition and rapacious- ness which was reckoned honourable amongst the barbarians; persuaded that true fortitude consists in the conquest of appetites by reason. On this ac- count he banished all luxury and splendour from his bouse ; and both the citizens and strangers found in him a faithful counsell...or,.and an upright judge. As for his hours of leisure, he spent them not in th^ pursuits of pleasure, or schemes of profit, but in the worship of the gods, and in rational inquiries into their nature and their power. His name Jbecame at length so illustrious, that Tatius, who was tlie asso- ciate of Romulus in the kingdoiq, having an only daughter named Tatia, bestowed her upon him. He was not, however, so inuoh elated with this match as to remove to the court of his father-in-law, but continued in the country' of the Sabines, paying his attentions to his own father, who was now grown old.
