To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In a later century St. Augustine says of him: " Varro had read so much that we ought to feel surprised that he found time to write anything; and he wrote so much that we can hardly believe that any one could find time to read all that he composed. " In fact, he wrote at least six hundred.^ Varro was, however, no mere recluse. He commanded a squadron in the war against Mithradates; he served as a general of Pompey in Spain, and though he was com- pelled to surrender his troops to Caesar, he esca...ped him- self and remained steadfast to the aristocratic cause until • So Auson. Prof. Burd, xx. 20. Cf. Boissier, Etudes sur M. T. Varron (Paris, 1 861).
THE GRiECO-ROMAN PERIOD l6l the final battle at Pharsalus. Since resistance to the dic- tator was then useless, Varro returned to Rome, expecting perhaps to be put to death. But the high-minded Caesar, who was himself a scholar, and wished to promote scholar- ship, received Varro most graciously, and gave him the agreeable task of founding a great public library in Rome/ This was the more pleasing, since Varro's own splendid private library had been destroyed in the Civil Wars, just as his beautiful villa at Casinum had been plundered and defiled by Antony, — a scene which Cicero has depicted with almost hideous realism in his second Philippic oration.
