Episode notes
Was Cleopatra truly the embodiment of Egyptian royalty — or was her bloodline entirely Greek? In this episode, we peel back the layers of history, politics, and myth to uncover the truth about the last Pharaoh of Egypt. We’ll explore the Ptolemaic dynasty’s Macedonian roots, the political climate of her reign, and how her identity was shaped — and sometimes rewritten — by both admirers and enemies.
