Why did Cleopatra marry her brother and her unle and her dad?

Cleopatra never married her dad or her uncle. At least not the Cleopatra VII that we are concerned with here.

Why could Cleopatra speak Greek?

Cleopatra spoke Greek because Greek was her native language. Even though the Ptolemies ruled Egypt, they were Greek and kept the Greek language and blended Greek culture with the Egyptian culture (or they tried to).

What was the ethnicity of Cleopatra?

Cleopatra was Greek. Although she was an Egyptian queen, her ethnicity was Greek as her ancestry came from Ptolemy Sotor, one of Alexander the Great's generals or some say relative. The Ptolemies made sure of continuing their Greek ethnicity by intermarrying.


Why was Cleopatra's blood Egyptian?

Cleopatra was not Egyptian. She was a Macedonian Greek. She ruled Egypt and followed the Egyptian religion and culture, but her bloodline was Greek. She was also the first of the Ptolemies who actually took the trouble to learn Egyptian.


Was Cleopatra a Egyptian queen?

Yes, she was. She ruled Egypt for 17 years. (Well, yes and no. Yes, she did rule over Egypt, but she technically was not "Egyptian". Her family, the Ptolemies, a mainly Greek dynasty, did not even speak the Egyptian language until Cleopatra II came along.)

Cleopatra's family history?

Cleopatra's family was Greek. They were the descendants of Ptolemy Sotor who was the first king of the dynasty. They were one of history's first dysfunctional families and seemed to have a family sport of killing each other off. So when Cleopatra murdered her brother and sister she was just carrying on a family tradition. However they were not all bad. The Ptolemies were the ones who built and patronized the great library of Alexandria with its famous "Museo". This was not only a place to house books; it was a scientific laboratory where medicine, astronomy and mathamaticswere studied.


Why and which Greek scholars educated Cleopatra and at which museum?

Greek teachers educated Cleopatra because she was Greek and all the Ptolemies were educated in the Greek traditions. Which Greek scholars is unknown. The "museo" or museum which was attached to the Library of Alexandria was the source of the greatest knowledge in the ancient world, but there's no evidence that Cleopatra ever studied there. Her teachers would have come to her in the palace. This is not to say that she didn't, at some time take a tour of it, but it is highly unlikely that she would have actually studied there.
