Tl;dr

- Caesar and Antony are bros, until they're not, because war/greed/Cleopatra.
- Eno has a tragic, senseless death because of his misguided interpretation of events.
- Eros has a tragic, senseless death because Antony is an idiot.
- Cleopatra betrays Antony, twice, so she kills herself, but not really. However, Antony thinks she did, so he (tries to) kill himself too, à la Romeo & Juliet.
- Meanwhile, Caesar rules pretty much the whole world because he's gotten rid of all of his friends and taken their lands.
