Produced by This e-text was produced for Project Gutenberg from Project Runeberg's digital facsimile edition "Den siste atenaren" by Viktor Rydberg is a novel written during the mid-19th century. Set in ancient Athens, the story explores the interplay between emerging Christian beliefs and the declining influence of classical Greek culture. The narrative follows various characters, primarily focusing on Krysanteus and his daughter Hermione, as they navigate the philosophical and spiritual tensions of their time. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Krysanteus and Olympiodoros, two Athenian youths discussing the nature of inspiration and the gods. They engage in playful banter, reflecting the vibrant social life of Athens during this golden age. The conversation reveals their different outlooks, with Krysanteus embodying a more serious, philosophical tone. As they head to the agora, they witness the contrasting sights of urban life, from the bustling market to the emerging influence of Christianity, which stirs a sense of foreboding about the cultural shift impacting Athens. The characters' interactions hint at deeper themes of loss, transformation, and the struggle between tradition and new ideologies that will unfold throughout the novel.
