About This Book

The narrative follows Publius Lucius Sabinus as he sails on a moonlit voyage, seeking respite from despair after the unexplained disappearance of Ilia; his tutor Thrasyllus offers gentle counsel while the ship's chorus, sailors' songs, and a harpist's hymn to Aphrodite produce a fragile calm. Scenes shift ashore to luminous Egyptian towns where torchlit processions, temple rites to Serapis, and the sights of palm-lined quays are rendered in vivid sensory detail. The work alternates intimate grief and longing with atmospheric descriptions of ancient travel, ritual observance, and social life, examining mourning, memory, and the tension between private passion and public ceremony.

Samuel Stephen Ltd., Norwood, London, S.E.19.
