The Egiptian Pop Queen. The Changes in Egyptian Queen Cleopatra’s Image from Historical Narration to Pop Culture
by Karolina Anna Kulpa
Description
The analysis of the changes in perception of Cleopatra VII Philopator’s image in two- thousand-year reception. The author, discovering subsequent layers of the myth – from a historical figure to the Egyptian Pop Queen – shows that Cleopatra’s image in every historical period depended on current trends. Who was Cleopatra? Was she a godess, a devoted mother, a queen figthing for her state, a ruthless seductress, a monster, an ancien femme fatale, a beauty with the face of Elisabeth Taylor or a woman like many others?
