Αντώνιος και Κλεοπάτρα by William Shakespeare
QR code
"Αντώνιος και Κλεοπάτρα" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy first performed around 1607. The play follows the passionate relationship between Roman triumvir Mark Antony and Egypt's Queen Cleopatra, set against political turmoil and war. As Antony neglects his duties for love, tensions rise with fellow triumvir Octavius Caesar. The drama shifts between sensual Alexandria and austere Rome, culminating in the War of Actium. Shakespeare crafts Cleopatra as a complex figure of "infinite
variety," while the work itself defies easy classification as tragedy, history, or romance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
