Summary "An Egyptian Princess — Volume 02" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel set in ancient Egypt, likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of love, honor, and the sociopolitical dynamics of the time, revolving around the lives of rich and powerful characters as they navigate personal and geopolitical conflicts. In this volume, Rhodopis, a matron of noble standing, grapples with her inner turmoil following a public humiliation and the worries surrounding her granddaughter Sappho. As she contemplates her past as a former slave and the challenges of raising her granddaughter, discussions about the future of Egypt and the tension between Greek and Egyptian cultures also unfold, particularly through the character of Amasis, the king. The narrative weaves through various important relationships, including those with Phanes and the scheming crown-prince Psamtik, culminating in a profound exploration of personal and national identity amid impending change and the threat from rising Persian power. The rich descriptions and character interactions vividly portray the struggles of an individual caught in the currents of a vast and complex historical landscape.
