Altashina V. D. Cleopatra and her nose: One Pascal’s thought story

Cleopatra is one of the world literature mythological heroines, and even her nose became a stable metaphor thanks to Pascal. Why was “Cleopatra’s nose” exactly and what did Pascal mean? To understand why Cleopatra attracted the philosopher’s attention, the article examines the perception of Cleopatra’s image in antiquity and in the 17

century, as well as the myth about her beauty. In 17

century Cleopatra ofet n appeared in fictional literature (Corneille, La Calprenede) and in essays (Nicole, Mere) – thus it was not only Pascal who used this personality to illustrate his idea about little causes of great events. Teh article analyzes Pascal’s three thoughts, in which the Egyptian queen’s image appears, to reveal the philosophical meaning of the famous metaphor.
