To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the Apolloof this period is never the mere dreamy youth of later time; it has beenwell said that he is the god who, in the mythical athletic contest, could surpass Hermes in the foot-race and Ares in boxing; the embodimentof all-round physical and intellectual excellence, the combination ofmusic and gymnastic, which again brings us back to a national Hellenicideal. Throughout the representations of the gods in the art of thefifth century we find the same essential character. They embody int...hemselves the expression, by means of the most perfect physical forms, of the qualities attributed to the god himself, or given by him to hisworshippers. They are no impersonal abstraction of these qualities, butare real and living beings, in whom these qualities exist to a degreeimpossible for a mere mortal. But, on the other hand, they have nothingof the passions and emotions, the weaknesses and imperfections of mortalnature. In this they are inconsistent, perhaps, with that Homericpresentment of the gods which the greatest artists consciously setbefore themselves.
