DEATH
OF SOCRATES
Long-suffering Odysseus and his resigned companions
with driver Pallas Athena went to the jail,
where they kept Socrates.
Athenians condemned to death the teacher
because corrupted young people, the city's morals
and did not respect the gods,
they found a expiatory victim as utmost solution.
I can not see that way Socrates
I do not want to see me crying said Phaedrus.
Only Socrates was serene and calm
he said that no one knows what is best
for him who dies.
He does not know that goes while those who will live
they do not know what awaits them.

Socrates drank the Hemlock
as if he drank a glass of wine,
serene and unruffled followed the path
of Destiny replied Plato.
He is the first man in history
who died for his ideas,
the first man who died for what he believed.

The scientific and philosophical knowledge,

All together they sat in the middle
surrounded in a circle the Others

ROMAN OPERA
Fabulous Ithaca sailing overbearing in Tiber,
when suddenly appeared on the deck of the ship,
the sons of the wolf, Remus and Romulus with Aeneas.
Mythical heroes immediately recognized each other,
and cried with sobs.
Even divine Odysseus wander in the centuries,
yes here in the eternal city I will find out why.
A tradition says that whoever mortal immortal
want to get into the city, must first wrestling
or fight with me answered awesome Aeneas.
I prefer to wrestling not and from error is killed no

replied mythical Odysseus
ROMAN MARKET
What speech Cicero
this imperious eagle of Rome,
why so many people are cuddly in Agora,
what do they want the senators and Praetors.

If is destroy the oligarchy, is destroyed the state
Romans watchful,
only war ensures the wealth and glory of Rome
I suggest Pompey to leave quickly for Asia.
Great and divine Cicero you talk like a lawyer
that has interests in Asia answered a Roman citizen,
that is created
the new man, Homo novus.
The young man of the world takes time
to becomes Other answered divine Cicero.
FLAVIAN AMPHITHEATRE
Flavian amphitheater is the temple of the altar
where thousands are dying beasts and people.
It is masterfully made with great art and technique
thousands of Christians are found in the undergrounds
of Amphitheatre suffering badly,
an endless lamentation that reaches till heaven
said multiform Odysseus.
Nero cares to entertain the people of Rome,
came the emperor with his escort and Praetorian.
King Sun offers
<< Bread and circuses >> completed
Peridis.
The people of Rome wants to see blood warm
run in the arena, broken heads
and brains scattered in the arena.
Handing out free bread to the Rome blempa,
sounding the trumpets and gladiators tour around
with extended the swords in front of the Emperor
Shouting

Ave Caesar
Morituri
te salutant
In the end remained only two, the best gladiators
of empire, the Fearless one truculent from Parthia,
and the freedman July that they dueled up to death.
THE CHRISTIANS
Look how the executioners mowing the heads
of Christians with the axes.
The spectacle is appalling, this people
with flesh and blood said Citizen.
I can not stand to see another kill so many innocent
people cried multimode Odysseus.
Immediately jumped to arena and began killing
the executioners with incredible skill.
Froze Amphitheatre, all wondered who is
this man and immediately followed and others.
Who are beautiful Stranger that you released in this
way
without order the wretched Christians.
No one answered mythical Odysseus,
this answer gave resourceful Odysseus
when escaped with the partners from
the cyclops Polyphemus,
while holding them by force to the cave.
I am a warrior of the big time
I caught holy rage and indignation,
when I saw how unjustly killed the Christians.
Because you are brave Greeks
I give you a little time to be saved from certain
death
to the glory of the Roman people.

final free salute
FIRE OF ROME
The air smelled of smoke, maybe some of Rome district
be caught fire. Fire fighters were running like crazy
Rome was burning down, all run distraught be saved,
children were running scared asking their mothers.
When returned Nero asked to see Tigelino
and immediately drew great evacuation plan.
Nero wearing a mantle with a wreath in her hair
and the guitar in his hands waiting his friends,
The gardens of wealthy Mecene.
Fumes they covered the sky of city,
what a terrible night and this.
Nero went up splendid in the tallest tower
the garden to see what happens.
From here I see better the fire that rages
under my legs.
Recite to you verses that will remain in the
centuries,
with divine inspiration I will sing the burning Troy,
in ecstasy with the help of Apollo
that dictates the turns.
The wind changed the direction of fire
an unanticipated fact saved the city.
DEATH OF NERO
The news from Spain is badly Nero,
Galba joined in the rebels,
10
There is no return
It's like ordering me to kill myself.
Dear Seed
bring me the gold box from the library
when stored inside the deadly poison
of Logoustas.
What do you suggest Tigelino
what to do to be saved.
Praetorian they are ready answered Tigelinos
we have the list of opponents,
we can immediately imprison your enemies.
I do not want to become civil war
I do not want to spill fraternal blood.
Nero then what you do
you expect to get caught alive,
they will kill you you have no luck said Tigelinos.
Along with the Seed, Epaphroditus and several slaves
they went up on the horses and set off for the villa
of freedman. When they arrived went inside the house
and Nero asked from Epaphroditus to help him
Epaphroditus
bring me this sharp knife
and help me
to sink deep into my neck.
Is flown the blood river my beloved king,
flooded the room, something to do.
Oh !!! what a great artist is lost, what a great !!!
Let me close the wound with this handkerchief.
I hear steps of soldiers sounding
as death drums coming to get me.
Nero lost consciousness and turned the eyes
11
upside down, then leaned over and died.
He died as Emperor
as Julius Caesar
he died like a hero tragedy.
Some said that Nero fled to Parthia,
since then multiply the guitar player in the East,
with a scar on the neck identical to that of Nero
