| 520 | 8 | |a The Last Queens of Egypt provides a fascinating look at Cleopatra's ancestors, the Ptolemaic queens, and offers an insight into one of Egypt's most famous but enigmatic families. At first glance the Ptolemaic queens appear to represent liberated and powerful individuals. A further investigation of their history and presentation, however, reveals that they were often used and abused by their consorts, brothers and sons. The role of queen was in many respects a kiss of death. Starting with an overview of earlier Egyptian royal women, the book gathers historical, archaeological and literary evidence to explore the roles played by the Ptolemaic royal women. Their part in religion, politics and court intrigue are explored and their propensity for incest, murder and power explained. Illustrated throughout, The Last Queens of Egypt offers a striking new history of Ancient Egypt, using the archaeological record to show the way in which the reign of Cleopatra was shaped. | |
