Cleopatra is often portrayed by Hollywood as a glamorous femme fatale. Mary Hamer argues that most of what we think we know about Cleopatra is merely the echo of Roman propaganda. Here, she reveals six lesser-know facts about the Egyptian ruler…
This is exquisite. This is delivery on the promise of gold edges. There are things in here that I do not believe would ever see the light of a Google Doc in contemporary middle grade fiction. In 1999, however, we were fearless: we were lopping off heads, we were drowning treasure-hunters, we were feeding people to lions, we were strangling usurpers, we were cutting the shirts off Mark Antony, and we were eating sizzling plates of fresh roasted songbirds as our royal dads got drunk and played the ancient world's most embarrassing flute.
Despite the cartoonish symbols, the Cleopatra’s Diary slot machine is still an impressive sight. A rich gold frame surrounds the reels, with sturdy columns and statues of Anubis helping to support it all.
But Antony was meeting a very evolved Cleopatra. Caesar “had known her when she was still a girl and inexperienced in affairs,” the Greek writer and philosopher Plutarch wrote, “but she was going to visit Antony at the very time when women have the most brilliant beauty and are at the acme of intellectual power.”

Cleopatra (Kleopatra) VII is arguably the most famous woman from classical antiquity, and one of the most familiar personalities in human history. She is best known through the extensive art and literature that was generated after her death. The information from Greek and Roman sources about Cleopatra herself is surprisingly sparse and generally misinterpreted. She is familiar today largely through her representation by Shakespeare and in modern film, as a seductress who ruined the men in her life and destroyed her kingdom, an erroneous depiction that is in large part the result of extremely eloquent opponents and male-dominated historiography. More accurately, she was a capable administrator and military commander, a linguist who knew a dozen languages, and a published scholarly author. Yet she was also the last ruler of her kingdom, and her defeat by the Romans led to the destruction of her reputation. She ruled for twenty-one years, from 51 to 30 BCE, and skillfully attempted to salvage her dying kingdom in the face of growing Roman power and involvement in the affairs of the eastern Mediterranean. Best remembered for her liaisons with Julius Caesar, and Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony), she in fact carefully chose her partners in order to produce heirs who could carry on the kingdom.

She had word sent to Antony that she had killed herself, knowing that he would soon follow. She was right. According to Plutarch, when Antony was told of his partner’s death, he uttered the immortal words:
It's mostly just Cleopatra trying to train herself to become a good queen. We get a little bit of romance between Cleopatra and Marc Antony and a side romance between Cleopatra's servant Neva and her guard Puzo but neither of these things go anywhere or do anything.
