Cleopatra might be one of the most famous women in history, but most of what we think we know about her was written by her enemies. In this episode of the Hot Mess History Podcast, we cut through the Roman gossip and Hollywood glam to get to the truth about Egypt’s last pharaoh.

Was Cleopatra really a seductress who bewitched Caesar and Mark Antony—or a brilliant ruler fighting to keep her kingdom alive in a world run by men who wanted her gone? We’ll talk power, politics, propaganda, and why her story still matters today.

Join us as we untangle the legend from the reality—and spill the tea on the ultimate queen of reinvention.
