"Et tu, Brutus?" The death anniversary of Julius Caesar is also the birth anniversary of his famous exclamation Et tu, Brute? Most of us probably recognize those words of anguish from William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, but the English playwright borrowed the line from Roman historian Suetonius. As both writers tell it, those sad words were directed at Marcus Junius Brutus when Julius Caesar recognized his friend among his assassins. Et tu, Brute? translates as "And you, too, Brutus?" For centuries that Latin phrase has been a reproach for an act of treachery or a betrayal by a friend or ally. Quite commonly, the allusion is used with the name of the betrayer replacing that of Brutus. m-w.com
