Alberto Angela recounts the figure of Cleopatra. A new podcast available now on Audible

Starting today, the new podcast Cleopatra, Woman and Queen, which will tell the story of Cleopatra, is available on the Audible platform. The voice that will narrate who the famous queen of Egypt really was will be that of Alberto Angela.

“Cleopatra was an incredibly modern woman, queen, mother, educated and multilingual. She was fascinating, but not a ’man-eater,’ a victim of her desire to fascinate as she was drawn at times perhaps only because she was so many things that she could not be pinned down into a single image,” commented the celebrated host and popularizer.

Through the podcast one will have the opportunity to discover the fascination of the last queen of Egypt, an extraordinary woman who was able to bind very important figures of ancient Rome, such as Caesar and Mark Antony, to herself. It will be a long journey through the era in which she lived, where places, people, and historical events such as wars and battles will take shape. Cleopatra’s story, from her birth to her death, will be told revealing the many backgrounds of her intense existence.

Twelve episodes from Alberto Angela’s book Cleopatra, the Queen Who Challenged Rome and Conquered Eternity, published by Harper Collins.

Also presenting the podcast were Christian Greco, director of the Egyptian Museum in Turin, and Marco Azzani, country manager of Audible. “Cleopatra is a strong presence in our museum even though she was Greek,” Greco said. “We have a bust traceable to her and she is depicted in a stele by Callimachus with her son Caesarion.” “I have visited the museum several times with Greco,” concluded Angela, “each time a different suggestion, what a crazy thrill!”
