Cicero....nooooo!

[primsong]

Just finished reading the Letters of Cicero (excerpts, that is - not the whole bazillion of them) and then Octavius went and totally betrayed him and let Antony kill him! Aaaaaaighh! Noooo! Noooo!

It's worse because it isn't even a fictional hero dying...! even if it *was* a loooong time ago. That's the thing about history, sometimes the plot just suddenly veers right off a cliff.

*wants to bludgeon Octavius, the @!&#*%! traitorous little power-grabber*

I'm left wondering if there's any record of what happened to his son - seeing as Plutarch said the murderers caught up with not only Cicero but his brother and nephew as well, it didn't sound promising. And was Atticus among those killed in Rome as well? *pulls hair*

I'm also left with a profound respect for Brutus, amazing man.
