Which Bad Girl of the Ancient World are you?
One of the favorite presentations I give is entitled Bad Girls of the Ancient World. I love to give this talk, because most of the powerful women in the ancient world have some sort of relation to the heroine of my novel, Cleopatra Selene.
Selene wasn’t, herself, a bad girl. At least, she was never vilified the way her mother before her had been. She had a nearly unblemished personal reputation, in spite of some of the provocative things she did–many of which I explore in my new novel, Song of the Nile.
But just because she doesn’t come down to us as one of the bad girls of history doesn’t mean she was a pushover. And thinking about how they may have inspired her began to inspire me to think about who I might have been like in the ancient world.
To that end, I’ve created this fun little quiz and I’d love to discuss the results with your readers. So, here you have it. WHICH BAD GIRL OF THE ANCIENT WORLD ARE YOU?
This was so fun, I posted the link on my FB page. I am Queen Arsinoe II of Egypt. I can handle that…
Yay, Sasha!!! Thank you
And if you’re Arsinoe II, you can handle anything.
That was a fun quiz! My answer was Queen Dido of Carthage
. =D
One of my favorites!
I ended up as Queen Dido too. Great quiz, Stephanie!
Thanks Rosanne!
That was fun! I am evidently Queen Zenobia of Palmyra.
She’s a good one to be. One of the few who survived the usual suicide by snake/poison-cup/etc.
Great fun quiz! I’m Queen Dido of Carthage.
I got Dido of Carthage! I like her though I must confess I don’t know much about her. I posted my result on my blog and encouraged other people to take the quiz too.
Thanks! I hope they have fun with it
Dido was a badass.
