[A person wearing a gold headdress  Description automatically generated]Cleopatra VII of Egypt is one of the most famous women in history. She is also one of the least understood. We are forced to view Cleopatra through a dense screen of hostile propaganda embellished by two thousand years of mythmaking. This talk will explore the real (?) Cleopatra behind the veil of bigotry, misogyny, and abhorrence.

WHAT: Monarch, Mother, Murderer, Monstrosity? Reflections on Cleopatra
WHEN: Friday, Nov. 10, 4:30 PM
WHERE: Arts Lecture Hall (AL) room 208

After the lecture, colleagues are welcome to join the Dept of Classical Studies for their annual wine & cheese gathering at the University Club.
