Why do you remember Cleopatra today?

Cleopatra is remembered today because of myth and misconception. The play writers and novelists have hyped poor Cleopatra into something she never was. In most minds today she is remembered as a seductress. Every so often she is returned to public awareness when some novelist or pop historian writes about her, either trying to rehabilitate her into a brilliant politician or a stupid bungler.

Cleopatra only impacts us today in a commercial sense. Books are written about her or her family, there's a Cleopatra cigarette, Cleopatra perfumes, I think a Cleopatra clothing or costume line. Anything feminine or sexy can have a Cleopatra name tag. All this has nothing to do with the real Cleopatra. The real Cleopatra was a capable woman who died over 2000 years ago. She has no impact on us today except in the historical sense.

How do we remember Cleopatra today?

We remember Cleopatra mainly from the 'love' story of Mark Anthony. In which, Cleo fakes suicide, Mark hears and actually kills himself, Cleo hears and so she commits suicide. However I remember Cleopatra as the last Egyptian pharaoh (even though she was Greek or something) who married her brother before he died from trying to escape from Egypt and ended up drowning in the Nile. Also she could speak heaps of languages so was considered smart.


Was Cleopatra kind?

Cleopatra could be kind when it suited her or when kindness would advance her in some way. In other words, there was always a self-serving interest in any acts of "kindness" performed by Cleopatra. However, please remember that Cleopatra was an absolute monarch, living in an era when there was no concept of charity or public welfare or "giving back" as we have today. She lived according to different standards than ours.
