  1. JoanOfArc

    But as he stood watching Carthage burn, Scipio Aemilianus reflected on the fate of this once great power. Overcome with emotion, he cried. His friend and mentor, Polybius, approached and asked why Aemilianus was crying. What better outcome can any man hope for?

     

    Aemilianus replied, "A glorious moment, Polybius; but I have a dread foreboding that some day the same doom will be pronounced on my own country."

     

    According to Roman tradition, Aemilianus then quoted a line from Homer: “A day will come when sacred Troy shall perish, And Priam and his people shall be slain.”

     

    Aemilianus knew that no power endures indefinitely, that all empires must fall, and that there is nothing mortals can do about it.

      And the vultures flew overhead, searching for the dying upon which they could feast. For the scavengers prey upon the sickly, and the wise seek those already dead. What better claim than a giant, who grew far too tall? When he was wounded and could not stand, what really killed him was the fall.
