Beware the Ides of March, especially if approached by men with daggers
Julius Caesar was hanging out, having a nice time with his buddies Brutus and Casca, when he was approached by a soothsayer. The soothsayer had a warning for the Roman beware the Ides of March. Caesar ignored the warning nobody actually listens to crazy folks on the street yelling doomsday prophecies and when the day came around he found himself penetrated by countless daggers.
We know that Caesar really was assassinated by a group of senators who felt that he d gone wild with power, but we don t know if there is any truth to the story of the soothsayer. Most likely this detail, was added in by William Shakespeare as he wrote the play Julius Caesar. The anecdote offers up a juicy detail to further emphasize how Caesar s hubris was ultimately his demise.
