# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 160 BC, Cleopatra III entered power in 142 BC ruling jointly with her mother Cleopatra II and her husband Ptolemy VIII, a arrangement that lasted until 131 BC and resumed from 127 to 116 BC. After Ptolemy VIII's death in 116 BC, she continued as queen alongside her sons, first Ptolemy IX and then Ptolemy X, maintaining her position at the center of Egyptian rule for another fifteen years. She carried different epithets depending on which male ruler she shared the throne with — Euergetis with her husband and younger son, Philometor Soteira with her eldest. She died in 101 BC, having spent nearly four decades as one of Egypt's reigning powers through shifting alliances within her own family.
