Soon after Cleopatra was given the throne after Ptolemy XIII had been killed. Cleopatra also gave birth to a child who had been named Caesarion.
Cleopatra had been at the deathbed of Caesar and after his death she retuned home. There her co-monarch had died due to poisoning from probably her elder sister. After his death, Cleopatra's son Caesarion was advanced to become the co-monarch. After securing Egypt she went on to taking her place as the head of Rome along with Mark Antony. However, as things turned out in the end, they both killed themselves instead of being captured by Octavian, who turned out to be the first Roman Emperor (Grant, Powells.com).
Conclusion
The Cleopatra by Michael Grant is considered to be the most wisely researched, correctly documented life of Cleopatra. With all the misrepresentation of her life history been preserved, it is therefore very vital to get...
From the treacherous Ptolemy family life, to the policies she was raised to remain to and her ascension to power all is there in the book (Chabot, 2007).
She was not the 'voluptuous harlot' history likes to belittle her as, but a woman intelligent enough, ambitious enough and rich enough to rule half the world and charm the two most powerful men in the world at that time. I would hope this would be the way Cleopatra VII would be remembered (Chabot, 2007). Thanks to Michael Grant, we have a clear telescope to peek back in time (Chabot, 2007).

Shakespeare's Antony And Cleopatra Love and Poetic Imagery in Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra." In William Shakespeare's play, Antony and Cleopatra, some people blame Antony for jeopardizing his Roman manliness for the love of Cleopatra, and some people think that the play shows that the Roman world of power and martial honor is well lost for love.

Shakespeare's Antony And Cleopatra William Shakespeare is important because, as T.S. Eliot said, Shakespeare (along with Dante) divide the world between them; there is no third."[footnoteRef:1] Eliot's point is that Shakespeare represents the height of modern drama and remains the ultimate "truth teller" for the modern world.[footnoteRef:2] Thus, Shakespeare's depiction of the classical figures of Mark Antony and Cleopatra, while not strictly historically accurate, is accurate in a more dramatic sense
