To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had Agamemnon arrived with a large force, what would he think on finding that the Queen had ordered sacrifices because of a light on Mount Arachnaeus and invented an absolute lie to account for that light? Moreover it was surely essential to the Queen's plot that, at the outset at any rate, she alone in the city should know of the King's arrival and could decide to whom the news should be Imparted. We are asked by Dr Verrall, who crowds the stage with her partisans, to believe that she could no...t, without suspicion, introduce a single servant who would be willing to watch and say nothing, but must post on the roof a simple and loyal servant of the King, who, compelled 'by threats and bribes' to keep silence for a whole year as to the nature of his task, was yet at perfect liberty to shout aloud and Inform the whole world at the very moment when It was most vital that she alone should receive the message! The point that the elders must have known of the beacon system, had it been genuine, is not sound.
