Pascal said the shape of her nose changed the history of the world. Shakespeare and Tiepolo (and Elizabeth Taylor) portrayed her as an icon of tragic beauty. But who was Cleopatra, really?She was the last ruler of the Macedonian dynasty of Ptolemies who had ruled Egypt for three centuries. Highly educated (she was the only one of the Ptolemies to read and speak ancient Egyptian as well as the court Greek) and very clever (her famous liaisons with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony were as much to do with politics as the heart), she steered her kingdom through impossibly taxing internal problems and against greedy Roman imperialism. Stripping away our preconceptions, many of them as old as her Roman enemies, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Joyce Tyldesley</span><!--bold--> uses all her skills as an Egyptologist to give us a rich picture of a country and its Egyptian queen in this magnificent biography.<br /> <br /> This book was first published on <span style="font-weight: bold;">24 Jan 2008</span><!--bold-->.<br /> <br /> Read by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Haydn Gwynne</span><!--bold-->.<br /> <br /> Five episodes of 15 minutes each.<br /> <br /> First broadcast from <span style="font-weight: bold;">28/1/2008 to 1/2/2008</span><!--bold--> as BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week.<br /> <br /> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Episode 1:</span><!--bold--></span><!--underline--><br /> After the death of her father, Cleopatra VII is forced to share the throne with her ten-year-old brother Ptolemy.<br /> <br /> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Episode 2:</span><!--bold--></span><!--underline--><br /> Is there any truth in the legend that Cleopatra had herself delivered to Julius Caesar rolled up in a carpet?<br /> <br /> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Episode 3:</span><!--bold--></span><!--underline--><br /> Why did Julius Caesar spend so much time in Egypt and why did Cleopatra linger in Rome?<br /> <br /> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Episode 4:</span><!--bold--></span><!--underline--><br /> Cleopatra recognises a kindred spirit in Mark Antony.
