Cleopatra the egyptian pharaoh cleopatra is often portrayed in movies as a woman of great beauty. but writers of the time and portraits of her tell a different story. although she was pretty, those who met her praised her mind and manner more than her beauty. cleopatra was born in 69 b.c.e. in alexandria. at that time, the city was the capital of egypt. the daughters of pharaohs played as large a role in governing as the sons did. the children of a pharaoh married each other and then ruled as co-pharaohs. so cleopatra received the same education as her male relatives. her education was broad. cleopatra studied the classics of greek literature. she read the works of herodotus and thucydides. (these writers are still studied today as important thinkers.) from them she would have learned about history, war and politics. she also learned arithmetic, geometry and astronomy. she practiced the art of speechmaking. she even took courses on medicine. her real talent, though, lay in learning foreign languages. one historian of the time wrote that she could speak at least seven languages, if not more. alexandria was known as the most learned city in the ancient world. in the third century b.c.e., the famous "school of alexandria" thrived there. this was a group of poets, artists and scientists. euclid, who gave us geometry, was part of this group. during cleopatra's time, scholars came from all over to study there. alexandria had the largest library of the ancient world. cleopatra was a product of this tradition of learning. which of the following best summarizes the passage?
