Cleopatra was a highly intelligent and politically astute ruler. Many false stories about her were spread by her enemies. She was known for her diplomatic skills and her relationships were often politically motivated rather than just about 'sex'. For example, her relationship with Julius Caesar was also about gaining support for her rule in Egypt and protecting her kingdom from Roman expansion.
The so - called 'Cleopatra sex story' is a misnomer. Cleopatra was a powerful queen in her own right. She had to navigate the complex political landscape of the time. Her association with Mark Antony was part of a strategic alliance. They were united in their opposition to Octavian. Their relationship was more about power and the future of Egypt and the Roman - Egyptian relations than a simple sexual relationship.
