Brutus, Augustus, Dante, Leopardi, PrometheusAbstract
Due to the medieval providentialist reading of the victory of Julius Caesar and Octavian Augustus as a manifestation of divine will, Marcus Junius Brutus, the last opponent of the autocratic power that the latter two imposed, would be the object of many interpretations along the history of literature. Firstly, Brutus would be be admired in classical sources, later condemned by christian mentality, and finally made a symbol of rebellion against the divine and moral order when the crisis of the classical ideal took place in the Romantic period.Downloads
