What kind of legend was Cleopatra?

As an "incomparable woman", it is a combination of beauty and wisdom, angels and demons, and it has more feminine temperament and charm than most women, and more strength and determination than most men.

Some people say that she is a mortal on the earth, and it seems that she is active in the human world according to the rhythm of the heavens. It is also said that she was the most intelligent and capable ruler of the ancient Egyptian kingdom. He knew how to use his beauty and wisdom to achieve the greatest political goal of all—to preserve the independence of Egypt and restore the glory of Alexander the Great.

A lover, a mother, a warrior, and a queen, these four roles run through her life and are indispensable for her.

Because she was related to two famous men, Julius Caesar and Cleopero.

She received support from Julius Caesar to re-establish the Egyptian Empire, and her love affair with Cleopero led to a life full of contradictions and controversies. She was a living being, not a god!

Cleopatra VII.

Cleopatra VII (c. December 70 BC or January 69 BC – August 12, c. 30 BC), commonly known as Cleopatra. She was the last female pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty of ancient Egypt.

She had a poisonous snake bite herself to end her life and Egypt's life at the same time (although studies have shown that her death from Octavian** is more likely). From then on, Egypt became part of the Roman Empire until the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century.

She is talented, intelligent, witty, good at means, unpredictable, and has a dramatic life. In particular, she was involved in the political maelstrom at the end of the Roman Republic, and her close relationship with Caesar and Antony, accompanied by various anecdotes, made her a famous figure in literature and art.

Legend has it that despite her strict guarding, she managed to get a basket of figs from a farmer that contained a small poisonous snake called "Asp", which she let bite her arm and die unconscious.

Octavian fulfilled her dying request and buried her with Antony. Caesarion, the son of Cleopatra VII and Caesar, and Alexander, the eldest son of her and Antony, were executed by Octavian's orders.

With the death of Cleopatra VII, the 300-year-long Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt came to an end, and Egypt was annexed to Rome as the private property of the Führer.

Cleopatra's life was full of magic, not only because of her outstanding talent and political means, but also because she was also involved in the political struggle of the Roman Empire, and there were various rumors between Julius Caesar and Antony, which became the inspiration for many works of art**.

Cleopatra was not a pure Egyptian, she was of Greek descent. During the reign of Alexander the Great, Egypt was not part of his empire, but existed as a vassal state. At the behest of Alexander the Great, his subordinate Ptolemy Sauter established his own Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt.

Cleopatra's life

The story involves ancient Egypt, Rome, Greece, and Macedonia, so let's sort out the background first.

At that time, Greece was the hegemon of the Mediterranean world, similar to a simplified version of the Spring and Autumn Warring States, with many small city-states. Later, northern Macedonia arose, and at the age of 20, Alexander became king of Macedonia, and in 335 BC swept through the city-states to unify all of Greece.

The following year, the Persian army was defeated, and then the entire territory of ancient Egypt was conquered, and the Persian Empire was annexed in 330 BC. Continue to fight non-stop in Central Asia and conquer India in the south.

In 324 BC, Alexander conquered about 5 million square kilometers of territory in 13 years, establishing the most powerful empire in the world at that time. Macedonia is a member of the Greek world and has a common culture. This is known as the Hellenistic period.

Later generations have told the kings of the mighty Roman Empire to bow down under her pomegranate skirts and willingly serve them. She was an idealistic and ambitious woman, and at the same time a woman with a lot of means and wisdom, who changed the course of Egyptian history.

Cleopatra was a woman of beauty and intelligence. He has loved a total of three men in his life. Each man has a different influence on each stage of her.

Cleopatra followed Alexander the Great in his conquests of the north and the south, and made immortal contributions to the empire established by Alexander. Alexander rewarded him by giving him Egypt.

Cleopatra's life was legendary, but perhaps the most legendary is that she made several kings fall in love with her.

As a woman, being able to associate with three high-ranking men in a row, and fighting for great rights for herself in the process, cannot but admire her beauty and courage.

Just like Wu Zetian in ancient Chinese history, not only her means, but also her experience in love is even more legendary.

He used his charm and wisdom to preserve a dynasty and make the two great rulers of the Roman Empire fall in love.

Cleopatra's life was a legend, and she not only used her beauty and intelligence to win the favor of the king, but also improved her own strength.
