| Summary | "An Egyptian Princess — Volume 03" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. It immerses the reader in the intricate intrigues of ancient Egypt, focusing on the life of Psamtik, who navigates the complexities of the royal court, religion, and personal relationships amidst growing tensions surrounding love, power, and cultural identity. At the start of the volume, we encounter Psamtik visiting the temple of the goddess Neith, seeking counsel from the high priest, Neithotep. The narrative vividly describes the majestic temple's structure, illustrating how it serves to enhance the spiritual experience. As Psamtik converses with his father, he grapples with both personal emotional turmoil and the broader political landscape, particularly in relation to King Amasis and the consequences of his anger. The chapter sets the stage for a series of escalating events involving conspiracy, love, and fate, hinting at complex relationships with characters such as Phanes and the Persian Gyges, while addressing themes of duty, reverence, and the influence of divine will.
