This eBook was produced by David Widger "Arachne — Volume 06 by Georg Ebers" is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of art, ambition, and the challenges faced by its protagonist, Hermon, a blind sculptor seeking fame and recognition in ancient Alexandria. Through a rich tapestry of characters, Ebers delves into the intersections of personal desire, societal expectations, and the pursuit of truth in artistry. The narrative centers on Hermon, who, despite his blindness, has gained acclaim for his statue of Demeter. The novel intricately showcases Hermon's internal struggles between his newfound fame and the lingering doubts about his artistic integrity. As he navigates the complex social landscape, including interactions with Queen Arsinoe and other prominent figures, Hermon grapples with the weight of his fame, the expectations surrounding him, and his love for Daphne, the daughter of a wealthy merchant. His journey leads him to confront the potential loss of his artistic credibility, culminating in a poignant realization about the true authorship of the celebrated statue, steering the story towards themes of identity and self-discovery amidst the vibrant backdrop of Hellenistic culture.
