I have always found the war Octavian fought against Antony and Cleopatra hard to understand. How did Antony find himself losing without even fighting a proper battle given all his experience as a general and commanding an army equal to or stronger than his opponent's? Barry Strauss explains the campaign brilliantly.You can find his book The War that made the Roman Empire here. Highly recommended.

This week the Roman historian and archaeologist Jane Draycott takes us to meet one of history's most glamorous and infamous couples, Antony and Cleopatra.  We join them in a crucial year in the history of Ancient Rome, around 31/30 BCE, when the Roman republic fell away and Octavian – later Emperor Augustus – seized power and founded the Roman Empire, with disastrous consequences for Antony, Cleopatra and their children. This dramatic piece of history forms the origin story of Cleopatra Selene, Antony and Cleopatra's only daughter and the subject of Jane's fascinating new book, Cleopatra's Daughter: Egyptian Princess, Roman Prisoner, African Queen. In this episode we explore the years leading up to the Battle of Actium as well as the battle itself and Antony and Cleopatra's subsequent suicides. We unravel the truth behind some of the most famous stories about the couple, and explore the nature of female political power in the ancient world.    Show notes Scene One: 2nd September 31 BCE. The Battle of Actium. Scene Two: 1st August 30 BCE. Octavian captures Alexandria and the suicide of Mark Antony.  Scene Three: 10th August 30 BCE. The suicide of Cleopatra.  Momento: Cleopatra's long-lost mausoleum.   People/Social Presenter: Artemis Irvine Guest: Jane Draycott Production: Maria Nolan Podcast partner: Ace Cultural Tours Theme music: ‘Love Token' from the album ‘This Is Us' By Slava and Leonard Grigoryan Follow us on Twitter: @tttpodcast_ Or on Facebook See where 31/30 BCE fits on our Timeline

Antony and Cleopatra, the last of Shakespeare's Roman plays, is an epic story that begins with the material of politics and history but expands into the realm of romance, poetry, and myth. Following the events of Julius Caesar – Caesar's assassination and the triumph of Mark Antony and Octavius Caesar in the resulting civil wars – Antony and Caesar are now joint rulers of Roman Empire. But Antony has left behind Rome and his imperial duties to be with his beloved Cleopatra, the captivating queen of Egypt. Personal and political rivalries bring Antony and Cleopatra to war with Caesar, in a conflict in which “the greater cantle of the world” is at stake. In the end, the lovers are forced out of the field of politics, but enter the space of legend. In this course, you'll learn the story of Antony and Cleopatra, study two of the most monumental personalities that Shakespeare ever created, and discover how these characters descend into and transcend tragedy In Part 1, you'll be guided through a detailed account of the story with commentary by Joyce MacDonald, Professor of English at the University of Kentucky. This episode includes key background and context for the play's historical source material. The summary is told using the language of the play itself, placing key quotations in context to help you understand where these lines come from and what they mean. 

Part 2 explores the play's varied and conflicting perspectives on its leading characters. From the Roman point of view, Antony and Cleopatra are figures who fall from greatness, and their story is a tragedy or even, at times, farce; but from other points of view, Antony and Cleopatra represent a kind of success that could scarcely be achieved or even conceived of in Rome. The episode analyzes the play's characters, language, and mythic archetypes to ask how the play makes so many viewpoints compelling, and where these competing perspectives leave the audience when the play comes to its end.

Part 3 features close-readings of three key scenes in which Antony and Cleopatra articulate their cosmic self-conceptions in language so transcendent that it helps transform their vision into reality. Speeches and Performers:  Enobarbus, Act 2, “The barge she sat in …” (Andrew Woddall) Antony, Act 4, “I will o'ertake thee, Cleopatra …” (Scott Ripley) Cleopatra, Act 5, “I dreamt there was an emperor Antony … ” (Dame Harriet Walter and Dame Janet Suzman)

روائع الأدب العالميأنطونيو وكليوباترا - Antony and Cleopatraهي مأساة "تراجيديا" تاريخية صاحبها هو أسطورة أدب ويليام شيكسبير طبعت في عام1623.بنيت القصة على قصة الحب بين مارك أنطونيو وكليوباترا منذ حروب البارثيان إلى انتحار كليوباترا، الشخصية الشريرة في هذه القصة برزت في القيصر أوكتافيوس (أغسطس قيصر) أحد أتباع أنطونيو وأول امبراطور لروما في المستقبل، هذه المأساة عبارة عن مسرحية رومانية تتسم بالسرعة والفجائية. والنظرة الشاملة المتسلسلة للأماكن الجغرافية، يمكن اعتبار دور كليوباترا في هذه المسرحية أحد أهم أدوار النساء في مسرحيات شكسبير، تمثل دور شخصية تافهة بأستمرار ومتكلفة الأداء، تستفز الجمهور إلى حد الضجر، في نفس الوقت، قام شكسبير ببذل الجهد لإبرازها وأنطونيو في صورة مأساوية تتميز بالبهاء. هذه الملامح المتناقضة أدت إلى انقسام شهير بين ردود فعل النقاد.أحداث القصةمارك أنطونيو أحد أعضاء الحكومة الثلاثية بروما مع أوكتافيوس القيصر وأميليوس ليبيدس، أهمل واجباته العسكرية بعد أن أنشغل بملكة مصر كليوباترا، حيث تجاهل مشاكل روما الوطنية، بما فيها حقيقة أن زوجته فلوفيا، ثارت على أوكتافيوس ثم ماتت.دعى أوكتافيوس أنطونيو للعودة من الأسكندرية إلى روما لمساعدته ضد البومباي، منيكراتس وميناس ثلاثة قراصنة ب البحر المتوسط ذوي سمعة رديئة، وفي الأسكندرية تتوسل كليوباترا لأنطونيو ألا يذهب، وتعتبر أنه بهذه الطريقة يثبت حبه لها، ولكن في النهاية يغادر.بالعودة إلى روما، أجريبا يعيد فكرة أن أنطونيو يجب أن يتزوج من أخت أوكتافيوس القيصر، أوكتافيا، لتقوية العلاقات بين الرجلين، أحد قادة أنطونيو ويدعى أنوباربس.بالرغم من ذلك، يعلم أن أوكتافيا لن ترضيه أبداً بعد كليوباترا، وفي عبارة شهيرة يصف فتنة وجمال كليوباترا بعبارات مثل "العمر لا يمكن أن يذبل جمالها".تتنبأ عرافة لأنطونيو أنه سيخسر إن حارب أوكتافيوس.في مصر، تعلم كليوباترا بزواج أنطونيو وتوقع غضبها العارم على الرسول الذي بعث إليها بالرسالة، ولكن تنتابها السعادة عندما تعلم بأوصاف أوكتافيا الدميمة من حاشيتها.في أحد المواجهات، الحكومة الثلاثية تساوم البومباي، وتعرض عليه هدنة حيث يمكنة الأحتفا ب سردينيا وصقلية، ولكن عليه مساعدتهم في تخليص البحر من القراصنة ويرسل لهم ضريبة ثقيلة، وبعد تردد شديد يوافق بومباي، ويقام أحتفال صاخب على سفينة بومباي، يغري ميناس بومباي بفكرة أنه إن قتل القادة الثلاثة سيصبح قائداً لروما، ولكنه يرفض ذلك ويجد أن هذه الفعلة ضد الشرف، ولكن سرعان ما ينقض أوكتافيس ولابيدوس الهدنة ويشنوا حربا على بومباي، كانت هذه الحرب ضد إرادة أنطونيو الذي أستشاط غضبه.يعود أنطونيو إلى مصر ويتوج نفسه مع كليوباترا كملوك مصر، والثلث الشرقي من إمبراطورية روما حيث كانت هذه المقاطعة نصيب أنطونيو من الحكم الثلاثي، أتهم أوكتافيوس أنه لم يعطيه حصته الكافية من أرض بومباي وغضب لأن لبيدوس "الذي كان قد سجن من قبل أوكتافيوس" خرج من السجن وولج من الحكم الثلاثي، وافق أوكتافيوس على طلباته، ولكن من ناحية أخرى لم يكن مسرورا مما فعله أنطونيو.أستعد أنطونيوا لمحاربة أوكتافيوس، أنوباربس مساعده يحضه على القتال في اليابسة، حيث تكون الغلبة له، بدلا من قتال البحار حيث أن أسطول أوكتافيوس أقوى، ولكن أنطونيو يرفض بما أن أوكتافيوس تحداه على قتاله بالبحر، كليوباترا تأمر بأسطولها ليكون رهن إشارة أنطونيو، مع ذلك. في وسط المعركة أسطول كليوبترا بالستون سفينة، وأنطونيو يتبعها، يترك جيشه ليهزم، ويلاحقه العار بما فعله به حب كليوبارتا، يلومها أنطونيو بشدة لأنها جعلت منه جباناً, ولكنه يضع في النهاية هذا الحب فوق كل شيء بقوله " أعطيني قبلة ; ويفي هذا بكل شيء."يرسل أوكتافيوس رسوله لكليوبترا ليحثها على تسليم أنطونيو والانضمام لجانبه، تتردد وعبث بالرسول، يدخل أنطونيو ويشجب ما فعلته، ويرسل الرسول للجلد، وفي النهاية يسامح كليوباترا، ويتعهد بخوض معركة أخرى من أجلها، لكن هذه المرة عل اليابسة.في مساء المعركة يسمع جنود أنطونيو أصوات إعجازية غريبة، حيث فسروها بأنها الإله هرقل يتنحى عن حماية أنطونيو، أبعد من ذلك، قائد أنطنيو الذي هدمه لمدة طويلة يهجره ويذهب إلى جانب أوكتافيوس، بالإضافة إلى مصادرته لأشياء أنوباربس، والتي لم يأخذها معه عند الذهاب لأوكتافيوس، يأمر أنطونيو بالأشياء أن تذهب لأنوباربس مرة أخرى، ويمتن أنوربابس لكرم سيده.ويخجل من عدم إخلاصه، ويموت بقلب منكسر.تسير المعركة لصالح أنطونيو حيث أنطلقت من اليابسة، إلى أن قلبها أوكتافيوس لصراع بحري مرة أخرى، ويخسر أنطونيو عندما ينضم أسطول كليوباترا إلى جانب أوكتافيوس ويحاصره. ويشجب كليوبارت بقوله " هذه المصرية الحمقاء خدعتني !." ويعقد العزم على قتلها لخيانتها له، تقرر كليوباترا أن الطريقة الوحيدة لإستعادة حبه مرة أخرى هي أن تبعث له رسالة فحواها أنها ستنتحر. لتموت واسمه عل شفتيها، تحبس نفسها في مكان وتنتظر عودة أنطونيو.ولكن خطتها تفشل وبدلا من أن يعود لها نادما يقرر أنطونيو أن حياته لا تُستحق، لذلك يأمر أحد مساعديه "روس" ليحضر له سيفا ولكن آروس لم يجرؤ عل هذه الفعلة ويقتل نفسه، يعجب أنطونيو بشجاعته ويحاول فعل نفس الشيء ولكنه يفشل ويكون كل ما اكتسبه هو جرح عميق، يعلم أنطونيو أن كليوباترا ما زالت حية فيقوم بالذهاب لها في مكان عزلتها ويموت بين زراعيها.يذهب أوكتافيوس لكليوباترا ويحاول أن يقنعها بالأستسلام ولكنها ترفض بغضب شديد، تُخان كليوباترا وتحتجز من قبل الرومان.تقرر كليوباترا الأنتحار باستخدام سم أفعى الناشر, وتموت في هدوء، وهي تتخيل ملاقاتها لأنطونيو في الحياة الأخرى، وينتحر خادمتيها آيرس وشارميان هنا الأخرى ان بنفس الطريقة، يكتشف أوكتافيوس الانتحار ويظهر مشاعر مضطربة، يتركه موت أنطونيو وكليوباترا ليكون هو أول إمبراطور روماني "أغسطس قيصر"، ولكنه يشعر ببعض التعاطف معهم حيث يقول "سوف تدفن إل جانب حبيبها أنطونيو، لا يوجد قبر على الأرض سيطوق هذين، زوجين رائعين", ويأمر بأن تكون جنازة شعبية عسكرية.Podcast Record

In one of the most famously torrid love affairs of all time, defined by extramarital cheating, lavish outfits, histrionics, and the shadow of collapsing empires, this episode's main characters define obsession and the insanity of passion. No, not Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton! Antony and Cleopatra! Picking up where “Julius Caesar” left off, Shakespeare cranks up the operatic dialogue and battle scenes as Rome tears itself asunder. Will and James discuss why Cleopatra is one of the most fascinating women in Shakespeare, the amazing language throughout the play, and whether their relationship represents puppy love or a clichéd midlife crisis.CreditsIntro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous)Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous)Illustrative Excerpts: “Cleopatra,” dir.

A trailer for Antony and Cleopatra, Shakespeare's classic play now an audio drama presented by the Monash Shakespeare Company (MSC), premiering 22/11/2021.

Double episode! In which Grace and Danny discuss honor, John Lithgow, and the glory of Rome.

Vanessa Corredera, Andrews University, joins us to discuss Shakespeare, race, and Anthony and Cleopatra!

Antony leaves Cleopatra in the spring of 40BC and soon after she gives birth to twins. They would not see each other again for three years. During this time, the stage is set for the beginning of the ultimate conflict. Octavian and Antony, rivals turned uneasy allies turned brother in law, struggle to gain power. Octavian ultimately pushes Antony to make a final choice: Would Antony come back West to duty and navigate Roman politics, or would he stay with Cleopatra in the Hellenistic East? Antony's decision will set destiny in motion.

Their love affair has fascinated us for ages. In this episode, learn about the beginning of Antony and Cleopatra. Cleopatra put on possibly the greatest PR display of all time and even from here, 2000 years later, I assure Antony didn't stand a chance.

Shakespeare's Roman trilogy reaches a climax in The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra, a love- and wine-drenched account of Octavius Caesar's defeat of Mark Antony and Cleopatra, and his consolidation of power over the nascent Roman Empire. The play is punctuated by bountiful allusions to Virgil's Aeneid. But besides the haunting downfall of the play's title characters, in the background of the action arises the specter of a new religious creed, Christianity. Katherine Bradshaw joins Jonathan and Ryan again, to take the measure of Shakespeare's Roman trilogy.Jan Blits's edition of The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra: https://amzn.to/3DolBcKVirgil's Aeneid, trans.

We continue our close reading, especially of the clash of mood or tone between characters in scenes 2 and 3, in the way Shakespeare is representing people trying to set the dominant mood of the scene: Antony and Enobarbus, and then Antony and Cleopatra.  Some attention to the extremely subtle foreshadowing and creation of perspective in those scenes.  Similarities and differences between Antony's relation to Enobarbus and his relation to Cleopatra.  

Since we're now online, and since it is Antony and Cleopatra, we're going to go through the play scene by scene.  Here we looked at the clash of tonalities between the soothsayer and Cleopatra's women, in 2.1, and also the way Antony treats the messengers from Rome.  

We finally really begin Antony and Cleopatra, discussing Plutarch's interest in character, and Shakespeare's, and what makes a tragic character interesting since we know what the plot will be.  Aristotle on pity and terror again: usually the protagonist or main is someone innocent or at worst someone like ourselves: not so in Macbeth.  After which we start analyzing the opening scene, with comparisons to Lear and to Hamlet as well (on the quantification of love).  Many corny jokes.
