Kings, queens and emperors, sentence 3

Napoleon was about average height, the "cake" line has no evidence she said it, and Cleopatra's family was Greek; the true stories are often stranger and more interesting than the myths.

Who acts: Napoleon, cake line, family, true stories · What happens: be, have, say · To what, where: average height, evidence · Speech: someone speaks here
