She was actually a greek, a member of the greek Ptolomaic family and even the fact that she spoke Egyptian and Greek seems to have been more of a political convenience than anything else - the Ptolomaics having refused to speak anything but Greek. Whether Cleo was a great beauty by todays reckoning seems somewhat in doubt if you look at her portrait on coins of her reign.Weavermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09833233577048591427noreply@blogger.com
