Ebers early conceived the idea of popularizing Egyptian lore by means of historical romances. Eine ägyptische Königstochterwas published in 1864 and obtained great success. His subsequent works of the same kind—Uarda (1877), Homo sum(1878), Die Schwestern (1880), Der Kaiser (1881), of which the scene is laid in Egypt at the time of Hadrian, Serapis (1885),Die Nilbraut (1887), and Kleopatra (1894), were also well received, and did much to make the public familiar with the discoveries of Egyptologists.
