The astronomer Ptolemy was almost certainly not married to his own sister. The Egyptians, and the Greeks, were not permitted to marry their sisters unless they were royal. The Ptolemaic kings were not pharaohs, but they did adopt the pharaohs' practice of marrying their sisters to keep the royal bloodline pure. It was probably not a very good idea.
