What reading level is The Mythology of Greece And Rome With Special Reference to Its Use in Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Only two Parcae were originally known to the Romans, but a third was afterward added, to make their own my- thology harmonize with that of the Greeks.
The popular conception of the Parcae as grave hoary women was not followed in art, where they always appear as young. In the first instance, their attributes were all alike, separate functions not yet having been allotted to them. But at a subsequent period it was Clotho who spun, Lachesis who held, and Atropos who cut, the thread of life. This a...rrangement was first adopted by later artists, who generally give Clotho a spindle, Lachesis a roll of parchment, and Atropos a balance, or let the last point to the hour of death on a dial. Such is the case in a talented creation of Carstens, in which the conception of modern times is brought into harmony with the ideal of antiquity (Fig. 84).
116 GREEK AND ROMAN MYTHOLOGY.
2. Nemesis, Tyche (Fortuna), and Agathodae- mon (Bonus Eventus). Nemesis really denotes the apportionment of that fate which is justly deserved, and a consequent repugnance to that which is not.
