What reading level is The Iliad of Homer, volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Still flies Achilles, but before his eyes Still swift Scamauder rolls where'er he flies: Not all his speed escapes the rapid floods ; The first of men, but not a match for Gods.
Oft as be turn'd the torrent to oppose, And bravely try if all the powers were foes ; So oft the surge, in watery mountains spread, Beats on his back, or bursts upon his head.
Yet dauntless still the adverse flood he braves, And still indignant bounds above the waves.
Tir'd by the tides, his knees relax with toil ; Wash...'d from beneath him slides the slimy soil: When thus (his eyes on heaven's expansion thrown) Forth bursts the hero with an angry groan : Is there no God Achilles to befriend, No power t* avert his miserable end ?
Prevent, oh Jove ! this ignominious date.
And make my future life the sport of Fate.
186 TUB ILIAD. BOOK XXI.
Of all Heaven's oracles betiev'd in vain, But most of Thetis, must her son complain ; By Phoebus' darts she prophesied my All, In glorious arms before the Trojan walL O ! had I died in fields of battle warm, Stretch'd like a hero, by a hero's arm !
