Rowell: Kleopatra III, a revisionist view

Rowell, Sheila Margaret (1991)
Kleopatra III, a revisionist view.
MA Thesis, Macquarie University


The purpose of this thesis is to review the historical role of Kleopatra III and to restore her good name, as a woman and as a queen, lost in the pejorative assessment of ancient and modern historians. Particular emphasis is laid upon her place in Ptolemaic ruler cult, principally manifested through the dynastic Alexander Cult of the Ptolemies.
