    Summary

    Cassius does not remember surviving Philippi. He remembers waking up each morning on an island in Greece, far from the battlefield, far from Rome. He does not remember when he first woke up. He doesn’t think Brutus will tell him.

    Summary

    One evening in Philippi, Mark Antony walked straight out of his camp, haunted by memories of a meeting in Rome many years before.

    And the next morning they would ride out to battle, and the armies would stand across from each other, and Antony would be on the right with Agrippa on the left, and Brutus would be on the right while on the left, facing Antony –
    He doubted there would be any ghosts. The desert was too harsh for them, all sharp rocks and jagged shadows. Too far from home.

    How would you wish to be remembered?

    Summary

    A speech is not a single voice, but a thousand silences.

    As Antony delivers his funeral oration over the body of Caesar, the real drama unfolds in the minds of the crowd. From the barber who knew his scalp to the philosopher he bested in debate, from the slave who witnessed his kindness to the woman who sold him lettuce — each listener hears a different Caesar.

    Brutus hears only the echo of a hand on his shoulder in the dusk.
