The definitive story of the seven Cleopatras, the powerful goddessqueens of ancient EgyptOne of historys most iconic figures, Cleopatra is rightly remembered as a clever and charismatic ruler. But few today realize that she was the last in a long line of Egyptian queens who bore that name.In The Cleopatras, historian Lloyd LlewellynJones tells the dramatic story of these seven incomparable women, vividly recapturing the lost world of Hellenistic Egypt and tracing the kingdoms final centuries before its fall to Rome. The Cleopatras were Greekspeaking descendants of Ptolemy, the general who conquered Egypt alongside Alexander the Great. They were closely related as mothers, daughters, sisters, halfsisters, and nieces. Each wielded absolute power, easily overshadowing their husbands or sons, and all proved to be shrewd and capable leaders. Styling themselves as goddessqueens, the Cleopatras ruled through the canny deployment of arcane rituals, opulent spectacles, and unparalleled wealth. They navigated political turmoil and court intrigues, led armies into battle and commanded fleets of ships, and ruthlessly dispatched their dynastic rivals.The Cleopatras is a fascinating and richly textured biography of seven extraordinary women, restoring these queens to their deserved place among historys greatest rulers.
