In the book you are reading now; The American AUTHOR answers this question, and is trying to tell Cleopatra's true life; Away from myths, the myths transmitted by history about their biography. Follow all that was reported; In the books, references, and reliable historical sources, despite their rarity. As everyone who wrote about Cleopatra did not see or live in her time, just as most of the information available about it is what its enemies wrote about it, and therefore it is marred by some exaggeration and misinformation. No papyrus survived in her handwriting; She talks about herself.
