Book Chapter
The Death of Cæsar and the Return of Cleopatra to Egypt
2004
Overview
In October of BC 42 Antony defeated Brutus and Cassius at the battle of Philippi, Cassius being killed and Brutus committing suicide. Octavian, who was ill, took little part in the battle, and all the glory of the victory was given to Antony. From Tarsus Antony sent a certain officer named Dellius to Alexandria to invite Cleopatra to meet him in order to discuss the situation. The naturalness and ingenuousness of his character are surprisingly apparent in some of the anecdotes related by Plutarch. The glamour of the stage always appealed to Anton's nature, and he found, moreover, that the society of players and comedians held peculiar attractions for him. A certain Egyptian diviner made a profound impression upon him by foreshadowing the future events of his life and warning him against the power of Octavian.
