Agreed. Cleopatra's power was real; a new angle is that she wielded statecraft through persuasion, alliances, and virtue; what then is true greatness in rulers?

I agree. Cleopatra proved a master of power, not myth; she brokered Rome and Egypt with steel and charm, a true equal at the table of kings.
