Just Who Was Cleopatra?
Cleopatra is known today for being the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. Lesser know, however, is the fact that she and her dynastic family were actually Greek (Macedonian), and Cleopatra herself was a descendent of one of the generals of Alexander the Great. Cleopatra took the throne during turbulent times, but she was an intelligent woman and a shrewd politician. She went against many cultural mores in order to secure her spot as the sole ruler of her people. She is generally accepted as having been a strong leader and diplomat, and for having had a great love for her country. The Queen of the Nile remains an immensely popular figure in Western society today, and you’re likely to find that your Cleopatra costume will be instantly recognized and adored by all this Halloween.
The good thing about the Cleopatra costume, especially if you have a significant other is that it is a perfect couples costume with the Marc Antony costume. You could even pretend that you are Liz Taylor and Richard Burton for a night if you don’t want to be the real people..sort of like life imitating art imitating life…now that is confusing. Liz and Dick were well known for having a stormy and tempestuous relationship so maybe you could bring that to the party and make the place sizzle !
