Of all the beautiful women of history, none has left us such convincing proofs
of her charms as Cleopatra, for the tide of Rome's destiny, and, therefore,
that of the world, turned aside because of her beauty.
This book deals with the history and character of Cleopatra.
“Cleopatra was by birth an Egyptian; by ancestry and descent she was a Greek.
Thus, while Alexandria and the Delta of the Nile formed the scene of the most
important events and incidents of her history, it was the blood of Macedon
which flowed in her veins. Her character and action are marked by the genius,
the courage, the originality, and the impulsiveness pertaining to the stock
from which she sprung. The events of her history, on the other hand, and the
peculiar character of her adventures, her sufferings, and her sins, were
determined by the circumstances with which she was surrounded, and the
influences which were brought to bear upon her in the soft and voluptuous
clime where the scenes of her early life were laid.”...
