What reading level is The Samos of Herodotus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is "Fate," accomplished through the instru- mentality of jealous men. The chest episode is the snare, the dream of the daughter a forewarning, which lead to an artistic close.
Herodotus concludes : "Except the tyrants of Syracuse there is not one of the other Greek tyrants to be compared with him in mag- nificence." After outlining Polycrates' career as a warrior the quality that Herodotus emphasizes is magnificence, indicating that concrete things such as the ring, crater, chest and equipme...nts of his hall, placed in the Herseum by Mseandrius and described as a$io6ir]Tov, gave the idea of "magnificence," and doubtless influenced the method of treating Polycrates' history; hence we have the ring story, the bowl episode, the breast-plate reference, the chest story. If "magnificent" is the historian's final eulogy, it may be supposed that certain Samian votive offerings influenced his imagination more in the development of his Samian chapters than mere facts of history, which he later developed to make an excursus more palatable to his public, another instance of the monumental influence of Samos upon Herodotus.
