What reading level is Sesame And Lilies : Three Lectures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'Before the human form was adopted, her (Athena's) proper symbol was the owl, a bird which seems to surpass all other creatures in acuteness of organic perception, its eye being cal- culated to observe objects which to aU others are enveloped in darkness, its ear to hear sounds distinctly, and its nostrils to discriminate effluvia with such nicety that it has been deemed prophetic, from discovering the putridity of death even in the first stages of disease." * I cannot find anywhere an account ...of the first known occur- rence of the type ; but, in the early ones on Attic coins, the wide round eyes are clearly the principal things to be made manifest.
94 There is yet, however, another colour of great impor- tance in the conception of Athena— the dark blue of her tegis.
Just as the blue or gray of her eyes was conceived as more light than colour, so her aegis was dark blue, because the * Payne Knight in his "Inquiry into the Symbolical Language of Ancient Art," not trustworthy, being little more than a mass of conjee lural memoranda, but the heap is suggestive, if well sifted.
