He will not fight with me, Domitius?
Mark Antony
Antony and Cleopatra Act IV, Scene iii, Line 1
Antony is
talking to his right-hand man Domitius Enobarbus. They’re discussing the fact
that Caesar refuses to fight with Antony. Why should he when he stands a chance
of losing to Antony; especially since Caesar’s army is sure to defeat Antony’s.
Caesar is no dummy.
Somehow or
another in all the time of doing this blog I seem to have missed that Enobarbus
had a first name: Domitius. How’d I miss that? And this is a character that I’ve
paid a lot of attention to over the years because I like both his name,
Enobarbus, and his character, the grizzled war veteran.
So okay, Enobarbus’s first name is Domitius.
Once more, a pic that is neither Mojo, nor relevant to Today's Totally Random Line. No, this is not Domitius Enobarbus, though he is a grizzled war veteran, of both WWII, and the eternal war of parenting. This is the original Papa Bear (believe it or not, some people think I resemble him). Why this pic? Well, though Papa Bear shuffled off his mortal coil many years ago, today is the one hundredth anniversary of his birth. Yup, born July 10, 1926. How's about that.
