This book, originally published in 1914, is a unique telling of the
life of Cleopatra. The author, a well-learned historian of his
time, offers a truer glimpse of the queen if we can rid ourselves
of the influence of any one period and ignore that aspect of
morality that has developed in us by contact with the age in which
we live. Good and evil are relative qualities defined largely by
public opinion, and it must always be remembered that certain
things considered good and evil today may have the acceptance and
denunciation of yesterday and tomorrow. The author does not presume
to offer an apology for the much-maligned Queen, but he describes
the events of her troubled life fairly. The actions of Cleopatra
will, without any particular advocacy, assume a character that is
no uglier than that of every other actor in the strange drama
surrounding her life.
