every day i cry and weep over lucan never getting to write the death of cato the younger into the pharsalia :(
#it’s not even a lost text i can hope will be discovered one day :(((
#genuinely i think if it Had been written it would have absolutely massive influence on a) latin lit Esp Tacitus
#and b) the uhhhhhhhhhhhh american revolution
#like cato already has such a weird and also Huge literary afterlife. but imagine if he had a sexy death scene too. like plutarch is good
#but if lucan had got to do it plutarch’s version might not even exist! or would be completely overshadowed!
#rip to neoplatonism but i don’t care
#i want to read abt my favourite historical figure ripping his own guts out (with a conquerning swordhand) in lucan’s sexy dactylic hexameter
#(this post v much thinking abt prev reblog like cato can’t grow as a character or even keep Living bcs he is the republic and the republic
#Fucking Died. oufghfhjg i want to see lucan’s version soooooo bad)
#(like i DO believe in the Twelve Book Pharsalia Ending In Cato’s Suicide. but ALSO how the fuck would/could lucan keep the poem going after
#that…………………… cato funeral scene WHEN. give it necromantic vibes. immediately
#wait actually yeah. Show Me What Happens To His Corpse. unite the Caesar Leaving His Enemies Unburied
#and Caesar As Double Of Erichtho and let caesar reanimate cato/the republic. consider: it would be sexy
#like i don’t think lucan would have done that at ALL but I Would. these tags are now pharsalia book 13 fanfic. thomas may wants what i have)
#(although thomas may DID also add unnecessary necromancy via time travelling lucan drinking julius caesar’s blood.………..
#pharsalia enjoyers united by this theme)
