Summary: "Quo Vadis (Πού πηγαίνεις): Μυθιστόρημα της Νερωνικής Εποχής" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set in ancient Rome during the time of Emperor Nero, focusing on themes of love, conflict, and moral dilemmas.

The opening of the novel presents Petronius awakening from a weary night of feasting, hinting at the opulence and hedonism of his life as "the king of elegance." Shortly after, he is visited by Marcus Vinicius, who shares with Petronius his infatuation with a beautiful woman named Ligeia whom he has seen in the house of a Roman nobleman.
