Nobody ever chooses the already unfortunate as objects of his loyal friendship.

Lucano

Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (39-65 AD), known in Portuguese as Lucano, was a Roman poet of the Golden Age of Latin literature. He is most famous for his unfinished epic, "Pharsalia", which narrates the civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompey. Lucano was the nephew of the Stoic philosopher Seneca the Younger. His work is marked by a rhetorical and dramatic style, and by a frequently dark and critical tone towards war and imperial power. He died young, supposedly forced to commit suicide by order of Emperor Nero.
