Hi there! How great to see historical fiction bloggers come into their own! You folks have become a true force in the publishing world and truly enhance the experience of reading (and writing) historical fiction.
I want to chime in on the death of Kleopatra. I know that it's difficult for the modern mind to accept such things, but the cobra was the symbol of pharaonic power and it was believed that whoever was bitten by one went straight to the gods. Kleopatra's manner of death was a direct statement of her apotheosis to her subjects, who already believed she was a goddess on earth. Plus, Plutarch supports the theory, and he said that he was working from the notes of her personal physician, Olympus. So I think the rest of us have little choice but to believe it!
AS to who was great in history, I'd have to go with Julius Caesar for the way he conquered and united dozens of disparate and warring tribes and brought them into the Roman way of life. You could say he invented Europe as we know it and wouldn't be exaggerating.
I will be posting a chat with Michelle Moran on my blog soon about Kleo & Cleopatra's Daughter. And finally, thanks for having a Leoardo's Swans giveaway. All best to you and your blog!
As ever...Karen Essex
