      The Adventures of Julius Caesar

      Vincent Van Hop

      El cuento de Cleopatra

      The Story of Cleopatra

      La calzada hacia el campamento de Julio César era irregular y estaba llena de baches.

      The road to Julius Caesar's camp was rough and full of potholes.

      Yo iba dando botes en la parte trasera del carro como un saco lleno de trapos.

      I was bouncing around in the back of the wagon like a bag full of rags. 

      ¿Cómo es posible que la Reina de Egipto, gobernante de la civilización más avanzada de nuestros tiempos, se encuentre en tales apuros?

      How in the world could the Queen of Egypt, ruler of the most advanced civilisation of our times, find herself in such a fix?

      Ahí estaba yo, envuelta en una alfombra persa, bien apretujada entre sacos de grano, una caja de verduras y una docena de jaulas con gallinas cacareando.

      Here I was, wrapped up in a Persian rug, packed in tightly between bags of grain, a crate of vegetables and a dozen cages of cackling hens.

      ¿Exactamente cómo había llegado hasta aquí?

      How exactly had it come to this? 

      Cerré los ojos por un momento y dejé que mi mente vagase por recuerdos de épocas mejores.

      I closed my eyes for a moment and let my mind drift back to better times.

      A través de la ventana abierta en mi habitación podía ver la hermosa ciudad de Alejandría en toda su espléndida gloria.

      Through the open window of my room I could see the beautiful city of Alexandria in all its splendid glory.

      Más allá de la ciudad, y en medio del mar, un alto faro en la isla del Faraón guiaba a los muchos barcos que entraban en nuestro puerto.

      Beyond the city and out to sea a tall lighthouse on the island of Pharo guided the many ships that entered our harbour.

      El faro estaba hecho de mármol blanco.

      The lighthouse was made of white marble.

      Era de ciento cincuenta metros de altura. Los marineros aseguraban que podían verlo, ahí situado, desde cincuenta kilómetros de distancia.

      It was one hundred and fifty meters high. Sailors claimed they could see it standing there from fifty kilometers away.

      Las vistas de esta estupenda ciudad, con sus anchas avenidas y grandes edificios, me quitaban la respiración.

      The view of this great city with its wide avenues and grand buildings took my breath away.

      Ésta era la ciudad que Alejandro Magno había construido, ¡y ahora era mía!

      This was the city that Alexander the Great had built and now it was mine!

      Tuve que pellizcarme por un momento para despejar mi mente.

      I had to pinch myself for a moment just to clear my head.

      Había sucedido todo tan rápidamente y ahora, con apenas dieciocho años de edad, me había convertido en Reina, la gran Reina-faraón de Egipto.

      It had happened all so quickly and now at only eighteen years of age, I had become the Queen, the great Pharaoh of Egypt.

      De repente, mis pensamientos fueron interrumpidos por el sonido de un movimiento en la puerta de mi habitación.

      Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of movement at the door of my room.

      Mis sirvientes habían llegado.

      My servants had arrived.

      Estaban aquí para vestirme en mis nuevas ropas, dignas de mi estatus de Reina-faraón.

      They were here to dress me in my new garments befitting my Pharaoh status.

      Cuando vi el tejido de llamativos colores entre las prendas de vestir, mis sirvientas me hicieron recordar rápidamente mi nueva posición.

      When I noticed brightly coloured fabric among the clothing items, the servant girls quickly reminded me of my new position.

      "Solo las mujeres comunes visten de blanco, mi Reina.

      "Only common women wear white, my Queen.

      Vos llevaréis un quitón, del lino griego más fino, adornado en los bordes y teñido de vivos colores brillantes.

      You will be wearing a chiton, in the finest of Greek linens, embroidered on its edges and dyed in bright vibrant colours.

      Vuestro vestido se ajustará a la altura de la cintura con un cinturón hecho de cuero y adornado con joyas".

      Your dress will be pulled in at the waist with a belt made from leather and studded with jewels"

      El brillante quitón era un vestido cosido.

      The bright chiton was a stitched dress.

      Era más formal que las togas que vestían mis dos sirvientas.

      It was more formal than the togas worn by both
