Afrodita, ambientada en la Alejandría helenística, narra la historia de Chrysis, una cortesana, y Demetrios, un escultor de Galilea. Chrysis, orgullosa de su belleza, busca la devoción de los hombres, mientras que Demetrios, deseado por todas, está obsesionado con la perfección de su estatua de Afrodita. Cuando Chrysis no muestra interés en él, Demetrios se ve envuelto en robos y asesinatos para complacerla. A medida que Chrysis se enamora de Demetrios, él la rechaza, satisfecho con un sueño de amor. Una historia de pasión, obsesión y crimen en el antiguo Egipto.

He is known as a writer who sought to "express pagan sensuality with stylistic perfection". He was made first a Chevalier and then an Officer of the Légion d'honneur for his contributions to French literature.
