Cleopatra,the second post

Sorry that I couldn't put all of my knowledge on Cleo's life in one post. Here are a few little fun facts that I especially like about queen Cleopatra Thea Ptolemy of Egypt.


  • Cleo married BOTH of anothrher brothers, AND had children with both Julius Casear and antother man, but, I won't say his name. Try to say it in the comments below.
  • She was not actually egyptian. She was Macedonian. Here is the story summed up in a few sentences: Alexander the great had conquered egypt. Alexander died. Generals went srambling for countries. Macedonian general grabbed egypt, and claimed himself king.
  • Cleopartra had one sister called Cleopatra, two not called Cleopatra, and two brothers called Ptolemy. Confused??? You will be!



  • She dined off plates of GOLD.
Cleopatra had many things to boast about, but her greatest love of her life was probably Egypt itself.
