Why is Cleopatra famous?

Answer 1

Lots of reasons:

• Queen (or Pharoh) of Egypt.
• Daughter of Ptolemy XII, and sister to Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV (her brothers she also married, but the union produced no children)
• Lover of Julius Caesar and mother to his child, Caesarion.
• Lover of Mark Anthony, and mother to three of his children.
• Defeated by Augustus, and committed suicide by allowing herself to be bitten by an asp.

To this day Cleopatra remains a popular figure in Western culture. Her legacy survives in numerous works of art and the many dramatizations of her story in literature and other media, including William Shakespeare's tragedy Antony and Cleopatra, Jules Massenet's opera Cléopâtre and the 1963 film Cleopatra starring Elizabeth Taylor.

Answer 3

There were seven queens known as Cleopatra. The most well known one was the last one.

If you lived with Cleopatra, legends say she was very attractive and her personality was amazing. Cleopatra had two older sisters and one younger sister. She also had two younger brothers, Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV. In the spring in 51 B.C., Ptolemy Auletes died and left his kingdom to his 18-year-old daughter, Cleopatra, and her brother, Ptolemy XIII.

Cleopatra's marriage was a little bit confusing and a little unusual. Cleopatra was forced to have a consort. A consort is when a girl has to marry a brother or a son, no matter what age they are. Cleopatra married her younger brother Ptolemy XIII when she was 11 years old. During Cleopatra's marriage, Ptolemy drowned trying to escape from either a war or some people who were trying to kill him. When Ptolemy XIII died, it was the happiest time in Cleopatra's life because she could control the entire country by herself.

After Ptolemy XIII's death, Cleopatra married her younger brother, Ptolemy XIV. Cleopatra's marriage with Ptolemy XIV didn't last long because he possibly died of disease.

Cleopatra's marriage with Mark Anthony was pretty good because she could get almost anything she wanted from him, and legends say he was very romantic. Later in Cleopatra's life with Mark Anthony, Mark Anthony was told that Cleopatra was dead. Later a message said she was still alive. Before Mark Anthony heard the second message, he fell on top of his sword on purpose because he thought without Cleopatra there was no reason to live. He died instantly. According to Cleopatra and Mark Anthony's wishes, they were buried together.

Not very much is known about Cleopatra's marriage to Julius Caesar. One thing is in March of 44 B.C., Julius Caesar was outside of the Senate building in Rome when senators killed him. They thought he was a disgrace to Egypt.

When Cleopatra was the queen of Egypt she started calling herself the new Isis. Isis is the devoted mother and wife goddess. This was very disrespectful to Egypt's goddess and was the subject of a lot of talk among Cleopatra's fans.

When Cleopatra died in 30 B.C., it was like a new way of life in Egypt because Cleopatra was dead. Cleopatra was born in 69 B.C. and died in 30 B.C. Legends say she died because she put a cobra by her and died of poison when it bit her. Cleopatra died at the age of 39. We know so much about Cleopatra because people go down to the Mediterranean Sea and find ancient parts of Egypt that teach us about Cleopatra.
