Why should you hate Cleopatra?

Cleopatra was greedy, arrogant, ruthless, and self-centered.

But that's no reason to hate her. She was a queen of her times and acted no differently than any other authoritarian ruler. She was, in a way, a victim of her own ambitions and the ambitions of Octavian. We have to remember that the ancient people lived according to different standards than ours and if we are to pass judgement on them, we have to judge them by their standards and not by ours.
