Famous ancient Stoic Porcia Cato was a woman of firm political convictions. She helped her husband Brutus see the plot to the very end.
In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Portia, shown here in an 1840 engraving, senses her husband Brutus’s distraction and beseeches him to confide in her:
Early in the second century A.D., Plutarch wrote that Porcia was “addicted to philosophy” and praised her “sober-living and greatness of spirit,” in keeping with the Stoic rejection of luxury and commitment to justice. Based on his depiction, Porcia is often regarded as the first female Stoic.As a very young woman, Porcia was wed to a political ally of her father.
The conservative Cato and Bibulus both aligned with Pompey and found themselves on the losing side of the war. Bibulus, leader of Pompey’s fleet on the Adriatic, died of illness around 48 B.C. Cato took his own life in Utica when Caesar’s troops won the nearby Battle of Thapsus in 46 B.C.Everyone knows the story of Jack the Ripper. This is the story of the women he murdered.
What happened next is not known for certain. The more dramatic ending has a devastated Porcia killing herself, either by swallowing hot coals or inhaling carbon monoxide.Porcia’s husband Brutus was defeated by Octavian and Mark Antony near the Roman colony of Philippi, in northeastern Greece, in 42 B.C.
