Review # 1 was written on 2013-05-14 00:00:00 Aloma N Bower It's wonderful to read of a well-written life knowing the tragic end and finding out just how much of that our hero presciently perceives. He knew he was safer while Caesar lived. He knows Brutus and Cassius have bungled by not killing Antony too. He's wondering about Octavian, little anticipating that young man's coming to terms with Antony. Since the second Philippic wasn't published, I'm going to have to read the first again to see waht so pissed off Antony though i suspect he was doomed in any trade-off anyway. He knows he'd be safer in Greece but wants to be on hand if he can help re-establish the Republic. I'm going to have to read the last volume of Letters to Friends to find out what else percolated through of the politicising into the life of a nomadic writer and philosopher, going from one property to another of his own or friends. When he talks of restoring freedom he means for the self-serving elite.

These letters are written just prior to the invasion of Canaan by the Israelites.
