Part 2
We are going to finish the life of Antony from roughly section 38 till the end plus comparison with Demetrius.
At the end we will give Antony our usual Legacy factor score.

Mark Antony (83 BC – 30 BC), also known as Marcus Antonius, was a prominent Roman general and politician who played a key role in the transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. He served as a lieutenant to Julius Caesar and later became a Triumvir alongside Octavian and Lepidus after Caesar's assassination. His life was marked by political maneuvering, military campaigns, and a famous love affair with Cleopatra VII of Egypt.

We will be referencing this reading
[https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Plutarch/Lives/Antony*.html](https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Plutarch/Lives/Antony*.html)

However any other version works as well.

This is a reading group in which we read from **Plutarch's Parallel Lives** about the virtues and faults of great leaders from ancient Greece and Rome. At the end of each life, we rate them for their leadership quality, virtues, entertaining reading, and legacy.

Plutarch Parallel Lives: Antony Part 2/2

Online event

Hi folks!

After our first [Nietzsche at Night](https://www.meetup.com/reading-philosophy/events/307959631/?eventOrigin=group_events_list) narrowly avoided disastrous power-outages and last minute venue-changes, ultimately blossoming thereafter into a night of honky-tonking, wet books, and confused check splitting, it is apparent to all that this series must go on.

We'll be continuing with Nietzsche's 1888 (published 1895) text *The Antichrist* and reading the damn thing in its entirety. So, depending on your copy and translation, it should be around 80ish pages. Maybe the shortest text I've ever coordinated a group around - cherish it.

I'll be reading the Penguin Classics edition, translated by R. J. Hollingdale, [available here](https://www.amazon.com/Twilight-Idols-Anti-Christ-Philosophize-Classics/dp/0140445145/ref=sr_1_16?crid=1YNFCNIP0XX12&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0Qc-XeXY5r3XY3pGvSpZQnobyjie63yKHwWORIb6BDUQwTiQSywriqKC4BLhX5f8JVpnEzvc0EYAXBzH1hJhycLxj3nwW2Ub1EM6t7F-gL5TuMr94izV3IMN-FpFf5Li5rkxXQRWAkf912dxEzC7fs7tGvjPa56-fSEDA0qcTCZFi5MbOnrg4exnXlj7Gr49J1BdveFOF-bOzubOZgeWs6xsEncPHsBuliPOjMzbRcFPjY9am3FU1glbQGATw7m5ewmkXHlEqXV5R7PTdg0HHMtrUwEmwONVcSXhVsswd2Y.smlJO9PYuzM2QDukpUed-uofaU4OwZHyK1V-lHeXTMU&dib_tag=se&keywords=nietzsche&qid=1747848148&sprefix=nietzsche+%2Caps%2C216&sr=8-16).
It's also [available here as a free PDF. ](https://avalonlibrary.net/ebooks/Friedrich%20Nietzsche%20-%20Twilight%20of%20Idols%20and%20The%20Anti-Christ.pdf)

As always, if you're unable to complete the book prior to our meeting, no worries - we're just happy to have you and welcome whatever insights, critiques, questions, etc., you may have based on what you were able to read.

We will be meeting at **TALEA Beer Co.'s Taproom** in **Williamsburg** (87 Richardson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211 - next to McCarren Park). This will be my first (actualized) event here but there are plenty of picnic-style tables that should work well for our purposes. There's also food, coffee, etc. I'll let everyone know where to find us on the day of the discussion.

As always, this group is open to newcomers to Nietzsche, novices of philosophy, ragamuffins, ne'er-do-wells, urchins of all sorts, etc. However, given that this is at a brewery, it must be said - be cool and respectful. Please and thanks.

Alright, looking forward to it and reach out to me with any questions in the meantime.

See y'all then!

Nietzsche at Night - An Antiday Reading of The Antichrist 

Talea Brewery

A little divergence from Plutarch into Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra.
This play was written at the height of Shakespeare's carrier, featuring his most soaring poetic idiom.

The play explores the intense and politically charged relationship between Antony and Cleopatra as it unfolds across two worlds: **Rome**, representing duty, order, and empire, and **Egypt**, representing passion, pleasure, and personal loyalty.
Antony struggles between his responsibilities to Rome—especially as part of the ruling **Triumvirate** with **Octavius Caesar (later Augustus)** and **Lepidus**—and his deep love for Cleopatra. Their love ultimately leads to **betrayal, war, and tragic downfall**, making it one of Shakespeare’s most powerful explorations of love and power.

Please come ready having to read the play. Any version will do.

For questions please send me a message or post to meetup.
