• It’s an effort for anyone, not just you.
• It gets easier with practice.
• The more historical knowledge you have of the place & time the easier it is.
• If it’s translated, some translations are better than others.
• Reading about the work and/or the author usually makes reading the work itself easier. Though sometimes those works are wrong, and that could color your understanding detrimentally when you read the original work. Consider checking the assumptions you brought to the text from derivative works.
