A feminist reinterpretation of the myths surrounding Cleopatra casts new light on the Egyptian queen and her legacy "A thoughtful, sympathetic portrait of a legendary historical figure."--Kirkus ReviewsThe siren passionately in love with Mark Antony, the seductress who allegedly rolled out of a carpet she had herself smuggled in to see Caesar, Cleopatra is a figure shrouded in myth. All we have to tell her story are words written by others.What has it meant for our understanding of Cleopatra to have had her story told by writers who had a political agenda, authors who distrusted her motives, and historians who believed she was a liar? Beyond the legends immortalized by Plutarch, Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, and others, there are no journals or letters written by Cleopatra herself.
