CLEOPATRA

H. Rider Haggard, the author of King Solomon's Mines and She, has produced a novel titled Cleopatra: Being a History of the Fall and Revenge of Harmachis. The book's initial edition appeared in 1889. The plot centres on the persistence of a dynastic lineage that is guarded by the Priests of Isis and is set in the Ptolemaic period of ancient Egyptian history. The Priesthood assigns the main character Harmachis, a living descendant of this bloodline, the task of overthrowing the alleged fake Cleopatra, driving the Romans out of Egypt, and re-establishing Egypt's golden age.
