"Theseus and Romulus ✔️
Two statesmen who finished poorly.
Theseus reads like a hero trying to be a statesmen: full of gallivanting and Kleos, but he couldn’t settle down. The foundation of Athens showed some prudence and politic spirit, but he ended up being a case study of “feared rather than loved.”
Romulus is a consummate man of piety and action. But he let it get to his head. And there were shenanigans" — Mar 11, 2026 07:02PM
