have you read the memoirs of Cleopatra by Margaret George ?

It’s probably one of my all time favourite books, I absolutely ADORE it!

the bust you posted as cleopatra selene II was not cleopatra selene II but cleopatra VII. I just thought you should know ^_^

I knew I would mess up those at least once! thanks!

what's life like in greece ? I really want to know.

I can’t really speak authoritatively on this because I don’t live there the whole year, but things are fairly difficult right now. A lot of people are un- or underemployed, and really struggling financially. That being said, Greek culture is really centred around friends and family, so as bad as things get, there will always be food, wine, and good company. At least where I’m from, we’re fortunate to always have a tightly-knit community where you can always get a helping hand, and thanks to geography and climate, you can always get away to the beach regardless of how much money you have. Southern europeans tend to have different priorities to those in the north; a lot of them don’t care about being ridiculously wealthy, what matters most is living a good and happy life.
