Summary "The Sisters — Volume 2" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written during the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and intrigues of Cleopatra, focusing on her relationships with various characters such as her brother Euergetes and the Roman Publius Cornelius Scipio. It paints a vivid picture of the opulence and complexity of court life in ancient Egypt. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to the lavish palace of Cleopatra alongside a description of the bustling activity around her garden and the palace grounds. As Cleopatra converses with her favorite lady-in-waiting Zoe, her thoughts linger on her brother Euergetes and their volatile family dynamics. The opening chapters set the stage for a forthcoming banquet, filled with anticipation and tension, where discussions of power, identity, and the social roles within this regal environment unfold. Cleopatra’s assertiveness and conflicting emotions about her family and associations indicate the broader themes of ambition and loyalty pivotal to the storyline.
