Well, an odd choice but still decent imho. She did her best at preserving her dynasty and arguably her diplomatic skill were really good since she managed to convince Anthony to agree to the Donations of Alexandria. Sure she lost to Augustus in the end but there's a really long list of great people who got bested by him.
Hope we can see her leaderscreen soon. I'm slightly worried about her after the quite Nubian looking depiction she received in Civilization: Revolutions.
Also on the subject of her being a Greek. The ethnicity of a ruler barely mattered in the pre-modern world since the concept of nations didn't exist yet. There were dozens of rulers from all periods in history who ruled kingdoms and empire even though their ethnicity was completely different from that of their subjects.
The Ptolemies were Greeks sure, but that didn't stop them from being rulers of Egypt. If you look at their propaganda it's obvious they were clever enough to appeal to both their Greek and Egyptian subjects. Propaganda directed at their Greek subjects showed them as heirs of Alexander the Great. Propaganda directed at their Egyptian subjects showed them as Pharaohs. They worshipped both Zeus, Dionysos and the other Olympians as well as Osiris, Isis, Ra and the Egyptian gods. They also adopted clearly Egyptian customs like incestuous marriages within the dynasty quite early.
If we decide to stick to modern concepts of nationality with the leader choices we might as well throw out Catherine the Great since she has not a drop of Russian blood in her, Alexander would be unacceptable if you support the Athenian point of view on Macedonians, Elisabeth shouldn't rule England since the Tudors were of Welsh origins and so on.
