What reading level is The Homeric Palace book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Meyapop, We are now within the Megaron proper, the great hall of the palace, the principal apartment of the whole group. It is a good sized room, longer than it is wide, and probably quite high. Its floor, at least in the palace of Odysseus, is of Digitized by Google THE HOMERIC PALACE. 41 beaten clay. Its walls, like those of the whole palace inside the fortifications, were sometimes of stone, as at Mycenaean Troy and at Arne, sometimes, as in prehistoric Troy and in parts of the walls at Tiry...ns, of a sort of half-timber work, a com- bination of mud-brick and wooden beams, in which the beams run, not vertically, as in Mediaeval work, but horizontally. The whole wall then had a footing of stone, which, at Tiryns, was carried to a con- siderable height. Inside and out, these walls were stuccoed and painted, a practice in which we have the origin of the polychromy of later Greek architecture.
On the inside the walls were sometimes lined, wholly or in part, with plates or rosettes of bronze, and adorned with friezes of alabaster decorated with blue.
