HAPPY STAB A SALAD DAY EVERYBODY!!

#fun facts in the tags#caesar’s words weren’t actually “et tu brute?” those are from shakespeares play julius caesar#he actually said “kai su teknon” which is greek and literally means “you too my child?”#but the phrase kai su was commonly found on curse tablets (these things people made to wish harm upon their enemies)#so historians think it might’ve been something closer to “see you in hell punk” which is really funny#and why were his last words in greek you may be wondering?#well like how until the last century or two latin was commonly used as a fancy language#back then greek was like that and latin was the regular language#so caesar said his last words in greek cause he’s fancy#anyway source: latin class#po posts#ides of march#julius caesar
