In this special episode of Wonders and Whispers, you’ll hear a first-person story told as if Cleopatra herself were speaking — bold, brilliant, and yes, maybe a little dramatic.

This creative narration was written and performed by Iza as part of her Faces of History paper for Essentials IEW in Classical Conversations. You'll hear Cleopatra recount her own rise to power, alliances with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, and the dramatic end of her reign. Packed with humor, emotion, and rich historical details, this episode is perfect for curious kids ages 7 to 13 who enjoy storytelling with a twist of ancient adventure.
