This book is an Urdu translation of Pierre Louÿs's renowned classical novel, 'Aphrodite'. Originally published in French in 1896 under the initial title 'Slavery', the novel delves into ancient Greek themes, mythology, and the complexities of human relationships. The translator, Nasir Ahmad Javed, shares insights into the challenges encountered while rendering the Greek and Latin-influenced French text into Urdu, particularly concerning the pronunciation of mythical names and the faithful translation of biblical excerpts.
