What reading level is Social Life in Greece From Homer to Menander book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was in fact mainly the intellect which attracted the attention of these speculators. The only educator who seems to me to have had a really deep sympathy with the temptations of his pupils was Socrates, and he did not seem to concern himself with little children, but only with boys old enough to understand argument. I fear Plato was an old bachelor, and estimated chil- dren accordingly. 'Of all animals,' he says in the Laws (iv. 322), *the boy is the most unmanageable, he is the most insidio...us, sharpwitted, and insubordinate.' He notices in the sequel how peculiarly the Egyptians excelled in the education of children, thereby implying inferiority in the Greeks. He proposes indeed to have two or three stout nurses to carry about each child in his ideal State, chiefly to obviate their roaring, in which he contrasts them unfavourably with the lower animals ; but this very advice, and the reason for it, speaks plainly the unsympathetic doctrinaire.
