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.

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.
