The Rest Is HistoryNov 16, 2020
“Cicero writes about a house he owns and a crack that has opened up, expressing a fundamental truth that life carries on even amid significant historical events.”
Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: ancient history insights
For: Historians and readers interested in ancient history
Key quote: “the idea that even amid all the events that Cicero was intimately involved in, he's worrying about kind of DIY repairs and things like that.”
The host mentions 'Letters of Cicero' to illustrate how even during tumultuous times, individuals like Cicero were concerned with mundane aspects of life, such as home repairs. This serves to highlight the continuity of daily life amidst historical upheaval.
