eBook 정보
Set in Alexandria, the novel tells the story of Chrysis, a courtesan, and the sculptor Demetrios. A Galilaean with long golden hair (source of her Greek nickname), Chrysis is proud of her beauty and her skill at winning the devotion and servility of men. Demetrios, for his part, is worshipped by the women of the town, but has grown tired of their devotion. He has come to prefer his statue of the goddess Aphrodite even to his lover, Queen Berenice, who posed for it. Chrysis is the only woman who does not care for him; piqued into desire by her resistance, Demetrios is spurred to commit theft and murder for her, to win the three objects she demands in return for her charms: a rival courtesan's silver mirror, the ivory comb of an Egyptian priestess, and the pearl necklace that adorns the cult image in the temple of Aphrodite.
