Then people give your voices, shall young Cnemon Die or be banished!

Plot summary
Plot — The Strange Discovery
After the death of his daughter, Charicles decides to leave Egypt and return to Greece so that he can die at home. Before he can go, the Ethiopian legate entrusts him with the care of a maiden, whom he adopts as a daughter and names Chariclea; but the legate is expelled from Egypt before he can reveal more of the girl’s history. Back in Greece, Chariclea seems uninterested in men until she meets Theagenes, who has come to Delphos to participate in a religious ceremony. After that, they are both stricken with love-melancholy. A physician diagnoses Chariclea with green-sickness and prescribes sex, so Charicles plans to introduce her to his nephew, whom he hopes she will marry. The visiting Egyptian priest Calasiris realizes otherwise and helps her to abscond with Theagenes to Africa, taking with them a fascia which explains her origins. Chariclea is really the daughter of the King and Queen of Ethiopia. Her fortunes arise from her skin colour: her mother was looking at a picture of a white woman at the moment of conception, so the child too was born white; fearing a charge of adultery, she disposed of the baby and reported her dead. In Egypt, Theagenes attracts the interest of Arsace while her husband, the Deputy, is away at war with Ethiopia, but he is impervious to her advances, even when she has him imprisoned and scourged. Realizing that the problem lies in his love for Chariclea, Arsace plots to poison her, but the poisoned cup goes astray and it is the bawd Cybele who is killed. Chariclea is tried for the murder and found guilty after Arsace provides five false witnesses; but when she is thrown into the fire, it refuses to burn her because she is wearing a magical fire-repelling ring. The Deputy hears of her beauty and has her brought to him along with Theagenes. Arsace commits suicide. Chariclea and Theagenes are captured by the Ethiopians on the way to the Deputy’s camp. It is customary for prisoners of war to be sacrificed, but Chariclea saves herself by producing the fascia describing her origins, and she and Theagenes are appointed Ethiopian priests in succession to her parents. In the sub-plot, Demeneta attempts to seduce her stepson Cnemon, but when he rejects her, she tells his father, Aristippus, that he assaulted her, and thereby gets the young man a thrashing. To further her revenge, she asks Thisbe, her maid, to lead him on. Thisbe encourages him to regain his father’s favour by catching his stepmother in the act of adultery. When he…
