What reading level is The Olynthiac And Other Public Orations of Demosthenes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But what is this to the twelve hundred camels, which, these men say, carry the king's gold 1 Let me suppose however, that we contributed the twelfth of our property, five hun- dred talents. This you would not submit to ; but if you did pay it, the sum would be insufficient for the war. Your f proper course then is, to complete your other preparations ; let the owners retain their money for the present ; (it can- not be in better keeping 1 for the state ;) and should the occasion ever arrive, th...en take it from them in voluntary contributions.
These, my countrymen, are practicable measures, thes are honourable and advantageous, fit to be reported as your proceedings to the king ; and by them no little terror would be excited in him. He knows right well, that by three hun- dred galleys, whereof we furnished a hundred, his ancestors lost a thousand ships ; and he will hear that we ourselves have now equipped three hundred ; so that, were he ever so mad, he could hardly deem it a light matter to provoke the hostility of our republic.
