Inhaltsangabe
This audiobook discusses some of the popular myths and legends surrounding Cleopatra's life, including her heritage, how she died, and more.
"Her beauty, as we are told, was in itself not altogether incomparable, nor such as to strike those who saw her - but to converse with her had an irresistible charm, and her presence, combined with the persuasiveness of her discourse and the character which was somehow diffused about her behavior towards others, had something stimulating about it. There was sweetness also in the tones of her voice - and her tongue, like an instrument of many strings, she could readily turn to whatever language she pleased..." - Plutarch
In Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. This concise, but comprehensive audiobook, will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end.
During one of the most turbulent periods in the history of Rome, men like Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, and Octavian participated in two civil wars that would spell the end of the Roman Republic, and determine who would become the Roman emperor. In the middle of it all was history's most famous woman, the Egyptian pharaoh Cleopatra (BC 69-30), who famously seduced both Caesar and Antony, and thereby positioned herself as one of the most influential people in a world of powerful men.
Cleopatra was a legendary figure, even to contemporary Romans and the ancient world, as Plutarch's quote suggests, and she was a controversial figure who was equally reviled and praised through the years, depicted as a benevolent ruler and an evil seductress, sometimes at the same time.
