Descrizione: The description of Antonio vomiting in the Senate after the hangover of the day before (a fact which is reported also by other sources), is conducted by Cicero along the lines of the famous scene of Homer's Cyclops that vomits human flesh and wine, as evidenced by the comparison with the rewritings of the same scene in Virgil and Ovid. The representation of the political enemy (and tyrant) as a monster is part of a tradition that draws inspiration from Plato's Republic [Author]
