Summary
"In April 46 BCE, 1,974 years ago, Cato the Younger died. In one sense, you might say he died willingly, as he chose death by his own hand rather than life under the tyranny of Julius Caesar. But no one who ever met Cato, nor anyone who reads of his death, should see anything resigned in the man."
Listen to learn more about Cato the Younger's inspiring death, and about how we can follow his example in how he led his life.
"Do not go gentle into that good night," by Dylan Thomas
