Episode description
The romantic and heedless loves of Antony and Cleopatra figure prominently in history, literature, and drama. Dryden made a fascinating play from the story of Antony, who sacrificed the leadership of Rome, reputation, and life itself for love of the Egyptian queen, who followed him in death. (Volume 18, Harvard Classics)
Mark Antony offers Cæsar crown at Rome, Feb. 15, 44 B. C.
