Publisher's Synopsis
""Meroth; Or The Sacrifice To The Nile: A Tragedy"" is a play written by Robert William Hume. The story is set in ancient Egypt and revolves around the character of Meroth, a young woman who is chosen to be sacrificed to the Nile River. The play explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the struggle for power in a society where tradition and religion hold great influence. As Meroth faces her fate, she must also navigate the political machinations of those around her, including her own father, who is a powerful priest. The play is a tragic tale of the clash between personal desires and societal expectations, and the consequences that follow. Hume's writing is rich in imagery and historical detail, transporting the reader to a distant time and place.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
