Summary: "Arachne — Volume 07" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in ancient Greece, the story revolves around themes of art, love, and personal redemption, exploring the life of Hermon, a blind sculptor, as he navigates the trials of his condition, his relationships, and the pursuit of truth in the face of deception. In this volume, Hermon faces critical moments of crisis and salvation. At the start, he is captured under suspicion of conspiracy but is saved by Daphne, the woman he loves, who pleads for his release. As he grapples with the implications of being accused of artistic fraud, Hermon embarks on a journey toward self-discovery and artistic integrity. The narrative intricately weaves through Hermon's internal struggles as he confesses to his peers about the mistaken attribution of a statue to him instead of his deceased friend, Myrtilus. Alongside this, themes of hope arise as he seeks treatment for his blindness in the desert, leading to profound reflections on art, truth, and the world around him, ultimately culminating in his quest for both literal and metaphorical sight.
