About This Quote

In this quote, the writer is referring to the success of two figures from history. Though they have been dead for many years, their love lives are still being discussed today. He was a great king and a great man who had a deep love for a woman named Cleopatra. With her, he had a glorious life.

It was only until he met Caesar that he began to feel restricted by his duties as a king. He knew she loved him and it hurt him to think of her with another man. The pain of her loss would haunt him for years as he continued on as the ruler of Egypt.

In the end, however, his story ended happily as he stayed true to himself and won her back from Caesar with his support.
