What reading level is The Iliad of Homer (Books I, Vi, Xxii, And Xxiv) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A woman was the cause of the war, a woman is the cause of Agamemnon's quarrel with Achilles.
2. Heavenly Goddess. The idea of the nine Muses is later than Homer, and the words here are used in a merely general sense.
For a 'similar invocation, cf. Milton's "Paradise Lost," Book I., line 6.
5. Naked. Bare of verdure, barren; with the idea of loneli- ness. Gf . line 427, below.
6. Vultures. Pope is here more exact than Homer, as well as more specific, who says, " all kinds of birds." 11. Latona's... son. Apollo. Here the author, who first invoked the Muse as the Goddess of Memory, vanishes from the reader's view, and leaves her to relate the whole affair through the poem, whose presence from this time diffuses an air of majesty over the relation. And lest this should be lost to our thoughts in the contin- uation of the story, he sometimes refreshes them with a new invoca- tion at proper intervals. [Pope's Note.] 13. The king of men. Agamemnon.
16. In this and similar allusions it is evident that the hearer is supposed to be familiar with the general history of the siege and the chief actors.
