More about the book

Set in ancient Alexandria, the story revolves around Myrrhina, a noblewoman who seeks to seduce Honorius, a Christian hermit, with her beauty and wealth. Their encounter leads to a poignant exchange, resulting in Honorius choosing to return to a life of sin, while Myrrhina embarks on a spiritual journey, opting to stay in the desert and embrace religion. This unfinished play, penned by Oscar Wilde in 1894 and published posthumously in 1908, remains unperformed and has received limited scholarly attention.
