What reading level is The Father of History; An Account of Herodotus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Herein the Oracle appears as the representative and promoter of a certain phase of Greek spirit, lashing the more backward communities to make them do their part in the new movement. Battus, the leader, and his colonists lose heart and come back to Thera from Libya, but are not permitted to land ; they return and settle on an island, Platea, but this is an evasion of the Oracle, which gives them no peace till they go to the mainland and found Cyrene.
Such was the long wearisome struggle laid up...on a Greek community by the Oracle for the sup- port of a plan of colonization. While the bar- barians began to be Hellenized, there was also conflict ; the natives did not calmly permit the new-comers to take their lands. The Libyans called in Egypt, which also had its jealousy roused by the new Greek community. The result was a war in which the Egyptians were beaten ; the Greek colonies of Libya assert them- selves against all enemies in that quarter till the Persian (Cambyses) appears.
There is a passage (152) which probably hints the source whence Herodotus derived the details of the colonization of Thera and Cyrene.
