Summary "Serapis — Volume 05" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the conflict between paganism and Christianity during a time of great turmoil in ancient Alexandria, focusing on the emotional and existential struggles of its characters, particularly Gorgo. Gorgo is caught in a web of love, loss, and impending doom as she navigates her attachment to her lover Constantine and the crumbling world around her. At the start of the narrative, Gorgo is depicted in a state of deep emotional turmoil after leaving her grandmother, who soon lapses into unconsciousness. As she grapples with her love for Constantine and the chaotic events surrounding her, the tension builds with rumors of impending destruction, revealing her inner conflict between her devotion to the old gods and her love for a man involved in the conflict with the Christians. The scene shifts dramatically with the death of her grandmother, showcasing Gorgo's profound grief and her resolve to stand with Constantine amid the upheaval. Just as the storm intensifies outside, so does the turmoil within her, ultimately leading to her conviction to be united with Constantine against the threats of annihilation looming over their world.
