What reading level is The Portable Roman Reader (Portable Library) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
B.C.—17 A.D.) From the Metamorphoses Book III Translated by Joseph Addison When now Agenor had his daughter lost, He sent his son to search on every coast, And sternly bid him to his arms restore The darling maid, or see his face no more, But live in exile in a foreign clime; Thus was the father pious to a crime.
The restless youth search’d all the world around; But how can Jove in his amours be found? When, tired at length with unsuccessful toil, To shun his angry sire and native soil, He goes... a suppliant to the Delphic dame; There asks the god what new appointed home Should end his wand‘rings, and his toil relieve. The Delphic oracles this answer give: “Behold among the fields a lonely cow, Unworn with yokes, unbroken to the plough: Mark well the place where first she lays her down, There measure out thy walls, and build thy town; And from the guide Boeotia call the land, In which the destined walls and town shall stand.”
No sooner had he left the dark abode, Big with the promise of the Delphic god, When in the fields the fatal cow he view‘d, Nor gall’d with yokes, nor worn with servitude; Her gently at a distance he pursued, And, as he walk’d aloof, in silence pray’d To the great power whose counsels he obey’d.
