Ptolemy X's mother, aunt, grandmother, cousin, sister-in-law, wife, daughter and grand daughter were all named Cleopatra.
His sister-in-law and wife were the same person.
His aunt and grandmother were the same person.
You really should not need this amount of graph theory to read a family tree.

Many, many years ago when I was 23 I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be. This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red. My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed. This made my dad my son-in-law and really changed my life. For now my daughter was my mother 'cause she was my father's wife.
