What reading level is The Religion of Ancient Greece book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sicily is the remains of a land bridge that in by- gone ages united Europe and Africa ; Crete was always a stepping-stone between North and South. At certain points in this'primitive culture, notably at Troy, Mycenae, Tiryns, and in Crete, there emerged that peculiar, well-marked civilization which we call " Mycenaean, " a civilization be- longing to the Bronze Age, culminating in the second millennium B. C. , already decaying before the tune of Homer. What concerns us for the moment is this : ...that this early pre-Homeric civilization, as we see it at Mycenae and at Cnossos, is deep-dyed with Oriental and especially Egyptian influence. On the sword-blades, for example, found in a rock tomb at Mycenae, we find ichneumons hunting ducks ; on a wall paint- ing of the fifteenth century B. C. , at Egyptian Thebes, we find depicted " Mycenaean " vases. If the " Pelasgians " of Herodotus did not borrow from the " barbarians, " it was assuredly from no lack of opportunity. Traditions accounted merely mythological are seen, in the light of excavations, to be historically true.
