What reading level is The Roman Poets of the Republic book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Again, in Book iii. the mind is stated to be a material substance, seated in the centre of the breast, composed of very minute particles, the relative propor- tions of which determine the characters both of men and animals. Lucretius shows a close and subtle observation of facts that establish the interdependence of mind and body, but no suspicion of that interdependence being con- nected with the functions of the brain and nervous system.
His whole account of the munduSy of the earth at rest i...n the centre, and of the rolling vault of heaven, with its sun and moon and stars — * trembling fires in the vault' — all no larger than they appear to our ty^^ is given without any notion of the inadequacy of his data to bear out his conclusions. The science which satisfied Epicurus was on astronomical and meteorological questions behind that attained by the mathematicians of Alexandria : and thus some of the conclusions enunciated by Virgil in the Georgics are nearer the truth than those accepted by Lucretius.
