| Summary | "Afrodite: Kertomus vanhan Hellaan ajoilta" by Ernst Eckstein is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set in ancient Greece, focusing on themes of art, beauty, and romance through the eyes of Akontios, a young sculptor. As he embarks on a journey to hone his craft, the story explores his encounters with the alluring Neaira and the challenges he faces in the pursuit of artistic inspiration and love." "The opening of the book introduces readers to Akontios during a picturesque sunset in ancient Greece, as he travels from Halikarnassos to Miletos. He is a young sculptor on a quest for both artistic mastery and personal fulfillment. His admiration for the beauty surrounding him leads to a chance meeting with Neaira, a captivating girl selling flowers in the marketplace. As Akontios navigates interactions with the wealthy Konon and his friends, he intervenes to protect Neaira from unwanted advances, thus establishing a deeper bond between them. This initial section sets the stage for Akontios’s artistic aspirations, his fascination with Neaira, and the social dynamics of ancient Greek society."
