References (many!) to Cleopatra are found through history, literature, and the arts, which can complicate research!
You can approach scholarly research in a few different ways:
1. Using a multidisciplinary database like OMNI or JSTOR to find books and scholarly articles from a variety of perspectives (pro: lots of results, con: more difficult to narrow down)
2. Use a Subject Specific Database (e.g. Gender Studies Database) to examine Cleopatra from a specific disciplinary approach.
