Network: Beware the Ides of March
Today is March 15th. That means the Ides of March are upon us.
On this day, the Roman Senate banded together to assassinate the tyrant Julius Caesar, stabbing him twenty-three times.
Though he became a martyr at the time, it was an act of necessity, and his killers acted in the name of the republic.
Though it's unfortunate that Caesar's demise paved the way for the Roman Empire, I cannot deny the allure of its history and the art and cultural iconography it spawned.
I do, however, still favor the Greek pantheon and myths over their Roman counterparts.

His assassination was a result of members of the senate and his personal guard attempting to stop what was coming.
It's an unfortunate fact of history that they were too late, and Julius is broadly considered the first 'Emperor' of Rome.
Also William Shakespeare created a play dramatizing his last days and murder. I haven't seen or read it, but Shakespeare's just about the most famous english playwright in history, so I'd imagine it would be quite good.

The post cuts off for a good several minutes.

I cannot recall a single piece of Shakespeare's work.

Maruki can't even leave existing art alone, what the fuck
what's the point? to what end?
whatever
no idea if it'll be any good since it's performed by cognitions but do you wanna see some productions onstage, we can make a day of it

To see these productions on stage, however... I would like that quite a bit. Whether they're done by true actors or cognitions, I would love the chance to learn more about what I've forgotten.
