misleading,
By
This review is from: Biography: Cleopatra- Destiny's Queen (A&E Archives) (DVD)
While this DVD is a reasonable record of the life of Cleopatra, the ending is completely misleading.
The main authority for the life of Claeopatra is the Roman author Plutarch, writng more than a century later. At the end of this chapter Plutarch is quite clear that the death of cleopatra by almost painless snakebite was only the gossip in Rome at the time and that he personally didn't believe the story. There is no definite information about the end of Cleopatra but the snakebite story seems to have been concocted by the Octavian political party to compare the behaviour of the "foreign queen" to the "honest" Roman Mark Anthony who had thrown himself on his own sword and suffered a painful death.

the mysterious cleopatra was many things: a mother, a wife, and a leader. she did many great things in her lifetime to better her country. conquering new lands and keeping controlling of her country was her goal. Some of her as a goddess and in a way she was for her story is immortal and will continue to be told
