 March 15th, 2023 Latin of the Day - "Et tu, Brute?"

"Et tu, Brute?"

"You too, Brutus?"

~ William Shakespeare (c. 1564 - 1616), in his play Julius Caesar, attributes these words to Gaius Julius Caesar when he realized that Brutus was among his assassins. The Latin words of Shakespeare have become famous, although sources from the time of Caesar report his last words were actually Greek, καὶ σύ, τέκνον, "You too, child?"
