In William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, a soothsayer shouts at Caesar to beware of the Ides of March. The Ides occurs near the midpoint, on the 13th day for most months, but on 15th March, May, July and October.
The soothsayer was prophetic. On that day in 44 BC, Caesar was killed by a group of conspirators. If he had heeded the warning, he probably would not have been murdered. Let me pretend to be a seer.
