Answer 1

Cleopatra was a decendent of the Ptolemaic dynasty. She became Queen in 51BC so there's a lot of time past between when she reigned and when Alexander's general Ptolemy became pharoh.

Ptolemy I Soter (Greek: Πτολεμαίος Σωτήρ, Ptolemaios Soter, i.e. Ptolemy the Savior, 367 BC—283 BC) was a Macedonian general who became the ruler of Egypt (323 BC—283 BC) and founder of the Ptolemaic dynasty. In 305 BC he took the title of King.

He was the son of Arsinoe of Macedonia -- either by her husband Lagus, a Macedonian nobleman, or by her lover, Philip II of Macedon (which would make him the half-brother of Alexander the Great if true). Ptolemy was one of Alexander the Great's most trusted generals, and among the seven "body-guards" attached to his person. He was a few years older than Alexander, and his intimate friend since childhood. He may even have been in the group of noble teenagers tutored by Aristotle. He was with Alexander from his first campaigns, and played a principal part in the later campaigns in Afghanistan and India. At the Susa marriage festival in 324, Alexander had him marry the Persian princess Atacama. Ptolemy also had a consort queen in Thaïs, the famous Athenian hetaera and one of Alexander's companions in his conquest of the ancient world. Thaïs became his queen in Egypt, and even after he divorced her, she reportedly remained his friend, and kept the title of queen while in Memphis.

Answer 2

No kinship between Cleopatra IV and Alexander the Great. She was a descendant of Ptolemy, a Greek general from Alexander's command.

If you look at her family in the encyclopedia, you'll find that many male members were named Ptolemy after their ancestor.

Answer 3

Alexander the Great conquered Egypt and left one of his generals in charge. Cleopatra was a descendant of the general and so had no relationship with Alexander. They are several hundred years separated.

Answer 4

something approximately this query would not ring actual. Alexander the great predates Cleopatra via virtually 250 years. Alexander pulled jointly the numerous little international places that on the instant make up contemporary Greece. even with the indisputable fact that historic Greece with it particularly is democracy grew to become right into a a million,000 years before. Alexander conquered a great form of the ordinary international (to them) stretching his empire from the Balkan peninsula to the borders of Afghanistan. i assume his destruction of Persia saved the Persians from attacking the west returned. Alexander positioned royal Greeks on the throne of Egypt so as that Cleopatra grew to become into Greek lineage no longer Egyptian. eu no longer African. Cleopatra grew to become into the spouse (lover) of Julius Ceasar and bore him a son, Ceasar grew to become into assassinated via Brutus and the Roman Senators. Ceasar grew to become into avenged via Marc Anthony who took up with Cleopatra. They have been the two defeated via Cassius, Anthony grew to become into killed and Cleopatra took her own existence with an poisonous snake. there is a few debate approximately that final. there is a few evidence that Cleopatra grew to become into murdered by way of fact the final Queen of Egypt.
