Description
Generalen, forfatteren og politikeren Gajus Julius Cæsar var en af historiens helt store personligheder, og han skabte grobunden for det kejserlige Romerrige. Han var en genial feltherre, der trods sine grusomheder på slagmarken i Gallien blev berømt for at vise nåde, og han var en mester i selviscenesættelse og kendt for sine one-liners, som fx ”Jeg kom, jeg så, jeg sejrede” eller ”terningerne er kastet”. Hans person og historie har både inspireret adskillige mere eller mindre fantasifulde fremstillinger og forårsaget forskere hovedbrud i årtusinder. I Cæsar – manden og myten præsenterer en række danske eksperter Cæsars liv og hovedpunkterne i hans efterliv. Bogens første del handler om Cæsar i antikken – hans forhold til Cicero, hans litterære værker, hans krige og triumfer, hans brug af portrætkunsten og hvordan han satte sit præg på Rom og brugte byens rum til at sætte sig selv i scene. I anden del hører vi om forholdet til Kleopatra, historikernes syn på Cæsar op igennem tiden, middelalderens fantasifulde forståelse af ham, renæssancens debat om, hvorvidt drabet kunne forsvares eller ej, og vi kommer også til Danmark, for Cæsar dukker op i værker af Saxo, Søren Kierkegaard, Sophus Claussen og H.C. Andersen.
