Modern:
Starting with William Shakespeare, "Cleopatra's story has fascinated scores of writers and artists through the centuries. While she was a powerful political figure in her own right, it is likely that much of her appeal lay in her legend as a great seductress who was able to ally herself with two of the most powerful men (Julius Caeser and Marc Antony) of her time."
Contemporary:
"Her reign marked the final end of the Hellenistic and the beginning of the Roman era in the eastern Mediterranean. She was the last Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt."
