Cleopatra Biography and Works.
Cleopatra was born on 69 B.C. One of the most fascinating women in history was Cleopatra VII, daughter of Isis and King Ptolomy, the XII of Egypt. She has been portrayed as the Queen of Egypt in so many films, books, plays and is often a popular theme for Halloween costumes. She is noted for her great intelligence as well as beauty. Hollywood has often distorted many of the facts surrounding this remarkable woman and the history behind it.
It is said that Cleopatra and Caesar conceived a child near the Temple of Dendur. When the child was born, she named it Ptolemy Caesar, and soon it was known as Caesarion, meaning little Caesar.
When Caesar returned to Rome, she followed him with their baby and lived in Caesar’s villa, where he visited her constantly, often feasting and making love until the early morning hours. Caesar was assassinated by members of the senate in Rome, who thought he was losing interest in the republic and spending too much time in Egypt. Cleopatra returned to Egypt and Ptolemy XIV died soon after, perhaps from poison by Cleopatra. She then named her son, Caesarion co-ruler.
Fortune turned against Cleopatra in 30 BC. Octavian was a man who was also in line for the throne of the Roman Empire. He was not fond of Mark Antony or Cleopatra, and he declared war on Egypt. He defeated Mark and then had Cleopatra arrested. At the age of 39, Cleopatra died in honour and was the last Pharaoh of Egypt.
