"Cleopatra was a member of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Ptolemy was a Macedonian general who served under Alexander the Great. He was a Macedonian aristocrat which means he was a blonde or redhead probably with blue eyes. Cleopatra was therefore White. I hope this helps.

"A lot of people are very fragile and showing their fragility. The casting for the Odyssey is already mostly not Greek not Turkish not even Mediterranean. If you are freaking out about one casting decision you might be a snowflake. If Elizabeth Taylor can play Cleopatra Lupita Nyong'o can play the fictional Helen of Troy.

"@TheXReportCard I dont buy it. It has not actually been confirmed anywhere. Helen of Troy is an extremely minor character in the actual Odyssey story (and she is the fifth billed actor/actress on the casting list). I think she would be billed lower down if she was actually playing Helen"
