From the Publisher
Praise from PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"[An] imaginative biography of Cleopatra... Prompted by deep-sea explorer Franck Goddio's recent discovery of Cleopatra's lost island, Antirhodos, the book chronicles Cleopatra's life--from her childhood education to her affairs with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony to her eventual suicide--through a splashy mix of history, images of artifacts and famous paintings, [and] undersea photography... The book's most interesting parts may well be its abundant sidebars and boxes, which provide mini-profiles of Egyptian and Roman rulers, gods and historical events." PW, 2/15/99
