This epic of difference is subversive to power, and yet it tries to amend its criticisms by praising the Emperor. Had it finished with the ominous praise to Rome that Pythagoras gives - preceded by instances of previous empires that fell - it would have fulfilled magnificently its subversive role. That last attempt of still praising the Emperor, deifying him, could taint this work. But a deified Caesar or Augustus is put in the same level as the bestial uncontrollable gods. Was that real praise?

Why read the tales of ancient history in all its flawed, disturbing, and horrid detail? Because it explains what people believed then and how much an ancient civilization needed a redeemer to pull them out of its doomed state of existence.
