An exciting biography, filled with the imperial ambitions and ruthless intrigues of Cleopatra. Cleopatra was the lover, the enchanting, and the greatest queen of Egypt. A woman who has become a legend, immortal in poetry, drama, music, art, and film. She managed to charm Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, the two greatest Romans of the era, and died gloriously, with a kiss to her chest - or so the legend says. However, the true story of the historical Cleopatra VII is even more captivating. She was the last of the seven Cleopatras who ruled Egypt before it was absorbed by the Roman Empire. The Ptolemaic dynasty, which ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great, had five Cleopatras who dominated a male-dominated world of politics and war, concentrating power in their hands. The seven Cleopatras wielded absolute power, with their desperate insistence on dominance leading to incredible acts of betrayal, violence, and murder in the most dysfunctional dynasty in history. Professor Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones offers fresh and dynamic insights into the true history of the Cleopatras and the enchanting and tragic legend of the last queen of Egypt.
