Her palace shimmered with onyx and gold but was richer still in
political and sexual intrigue. Above all else, Cleopatra was a
shrewd strategist and an ingenious negotiator. She was married
twice, each time to a brother. She waged a brutal civil war against
the first and poisoned the second; incest and assassination were
family specialties. She had children by Julius Caesar and Mark
Antony, two of the most prominent Romans of the day. With Antony
she would attempt to forge a new empire, in an alliance that
spelled both their ends. Famous long before she was notorious,
Cleopatra has gone down in history for all the wrong reasons. Her
supple personality and the drama of her circumstances have been
lost. In a masterly return to the classical sources, Stacy Schiff
boldly separates fact from fiction to rescue the magnetic queen
whose death ushered in a new world order.
