Cleopatra is often portrayed by Hollywood as a glamorous femme fatale. Mary Hamer argues that most of what we think we know about Cleopatra is merely the echo of Roman propaganda. Here, she reveals six lesser-know facts about the Egyptian ruler…

The only interesting character in the book was her sister Cleopatra VI Tryphaena. She had an interesting personality. She was cruel, she had a temper, she wanted to be queen and she didn't like her father as ruler. Looking at his behavior, I don't see how she's in the wrong.
