Cleopatra not only had a very interesting life, but has become a historical figure that continues to intrigue us and in many ways entertain us. While most know Cleopatra as from beautiful woman portraying her in books, cinema and theater there continues to be a fascination and mystique surrounding Cleopatra.
Who is Cleopatra?
Cleopatra was the queen of Egypt, once married to her brother, she was the mother of two children and true love of Marc Antony, a political ally of Julius Caesar, a murderer of both her brother and sister (who were thought to one day try to dethrone her) and a very smart and calculating person. There are many faces of Cleopatra and removing the many layers of this historical figure can be quite fascinating.
It should be noted that while we many think much of what is reported is true, from her beauty, to her love life, to her political alliances, there is evidence that these stories may just be myths. In fact, many researchers now believe that Cleopatra may be average looking at best.
