Who are femme fatales and why are they called that? The fact is that the word rock means fate, and they are called that because they played an important role in someone’s life.

There were those whose advice was heeded by the strongest and greatest men in history. For example, in ancient Greece there were hetaerae, who were specially brought up from childhood specifically for the seduction of men. In addition, they knew how to manipulate men and conduct intelligent conversations with them. There was such a Thais of Athens, whom Macedonian himself respected.

Interesting to Know magazine will bring to your attention several of these women, who, in fact, played an important role in history.

Cleopatra

The famous Egyptian queen, who was able to force Julius Caesar himself to overthrow his young brother and the true heir of the Ptolemies. According to the legends, she was not beautiful, moreover, she had the wrong facial features.

However, she managed to get the best husbands of Rome — Caesar and Antony. The historian Plutarch writes that she had an amazing gift of seduction.

Mata Hari

Her real name is Margaret Zelle. From childhood, she got used to a luxurious life, however, by the will of fate, her family went bankrupt, after which she unsuccessfully married. After a series of failures, she took on the pseudonym Mata Hari and began to practice exotic dances.

She was very popular with men — she had everything she wanted. According to one version, she was a spy, worked for German intelligence, for which she was subsequently shot. Before her death, she said the following: «A prostitute — yes, a traitor — never!».

Lou Salome

Nietzsche and Rilke were in love with her. She had a rare gift of seduction — any man at the first meeting with her could give up his family, children, service or wealth, just to own her. However, she knew how to keep them all at a distance.

She refused sex for a long time — she forced her spouses to live with her without sex. After which she went to Paris, lost her virginity and lost count of her partners. She was Rilke’s muse, she was friends with Freud, but she failed to seduce him — the famous psychoanalyst was very devoted to the family.

Lola Montez

Her real name is Elizabeth Gilbert. She was married to an officer with whom she lived in India, she was expelled by her husband for treason, after which she left for Spain, took the pseudonym Lola Montes and behaved very impudently.

She managed to capture the 60-year-old Bavarian ruler Ludwig. In the palace, she behaved ugly — almost all the time she went drunk and made scandals, because of which she was thrown out of the palace. They say that she died in poverty and loneliness.

Alexandra Kollontai

The revolutionary could not be called a decent woman, although she was brought up in a respectable noble family. She went against the will of her father — she did not marry the general and ran away with another.

Tired of a number of lovers, she left her husband and son, leaving for Switzerland. She identified sex with hunger and thirst. She had affairs with much younger men, and Bunin once said about her: “Angel. There is such a type of prostitutes.
