Cleopatra's story has the status of a foundation myth. This book chooses a number of key occasions from European history on which writers and painters re-imagined Cleopatra. It aims to raise questions about how these images of a dead Egyptian queen were read. It traces attempts to manipulate attitudes to women and power, and women and sexuality.
