Summary "The Emperor — Volume 03" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written during the late 19th century. This volume continues the grand narrative set in the backdrop of Imperial Rome and Alexandria, focusing on themes of art, politics, and personal dynamics among the characters. The story appears to revolve around the interactions and preparations related to Emperor Hadrian, capturing the artistic spirit and existential challenges faced by figures such as Pontius and Pollux, alongside the complexities introduced by characters like Keraunus, the steward. At the start of the narrative, the atmosphere contrasts between joyful revelry in the hall of the Muses, where artists gather to feast, and the tension surrounding Keraunus' household, hinting at potential conflicts that might arise from Hadrian's visit. The chapter introduces several characters, including Pontius, the architect, and Pollux, a promising young sculptor, who anticipate the Emperor’s arrival with a mix of excitement and anxiety. As the evening unfolds, it becomes evident that the artists are motivated by an eagerness for recognition from the Emperor, while Keraunus’ discontent is foreshadowed, setting the stage for future confrontations. The opening portions establish a vivid tapestry of social dynamics, artistic ambition, and foreshadow impending complications with the arrival of the Emperor.
