Summary: "Akhnaton, King of Egypt" by Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Akhnaton, the radically reforming Pharaoh of Egypt, and unfolds through a rich cast that includes Dio, a Cretan dancer; Pentaur, a former priest of Amon; and Tutankhaton, Akhnaton's envoy. The book explores themes of faith, love, and rebellion against the backdrop of ancient Egypt's political and religious upheaval. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Dio, who has recently arrived in Egypt after being rescued from certain death by Tutankhaton. She is recovering at the estate of Khnumhotep, where she learns Egyptian dances under the guidance of Pentaur. Their conversations reveal a deeper tension surrounding the current religious turmoil led by Akhnaton, who has introduced the worship of Aton while suppressing the traditional deities. This dynamic sets the stage for conflict, as both personal and societal struggles permeate their lives. The opening indicates a world steeped in political intrigue and personal relationships that reverberate through the corridors of power, particularly as tensions rise with the potential for rebellion against Akhnaton’s rule.
