While the story of Cleopatra's life as the classic female fatale has become legendary, this book reveals the real story behind the mythical woman, following Cleopatra from her childhood to her ascension as Queen of Egypt and then the Roman Empire. It presents details of Cleopatra's upbringing while also uncovering her relationships with world leaders and her ability to translate beauty and charm into power. Since Cleopatra is recognized as the first person to introduce the mystery of exotic Egypt into Western culture, an examination of how the enchantment, magic, and eroticism of ancient Egypt molded her personality and approach to the throne is included.
