What best describes Cassius?
In "Juilius Caesar," Caesar himself describes Cassius as "lean and hungry," a man who thinks too much and is "dangerous" (I, ii, 193-195). Cassius is these things and more. He is envious of Caesar, speaking of him as a Colossus. Cassius is manipulative of Brutus, telling him I have not from your eyes that gentleness/And show of love as I was wont to have (I,ii,32-33) In his manipulations, he is fauning before Brutus, flattering him in order to further sway him to think as he does. Cassius, then, is suggestive,telling Brutus that they groan "underneath this age's yoke" (I,ii,61). He is seductive in his language to Brutus, telling him I, your glass/Will modestly discover to yourself/That of yourself which you yet know not of. (I,ii,68-70) Certainly, Cassius is deceptive and dishonorable because he deceives Brutus by playing to Brutus's own sense of honor: I know that virtue to be in you, Brutus,/As well as I do know your outward favor./Well, honor is the subject of my story...(I,ii,90-93) In truth, honor is not the subject of his story. He leads Brutus to believe that he has the same noble principles as Brutus when it is power that Cassius desires, not the good of Rome, as Brutus wants. Clearly, Cassius is shrewd as he knows how to sway his brother-in-law, Brutus. Later in the play, Cassius is quarrelsome with Brutus, but does he defer to Brutus, who is well-respected, thus again showing shredness.

Who said men at times are masters of their own fates the fault dear brutus is not in your stars but in ourselves that you are underlings in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar?
The quote, from Julius Caesar, Act 1, scene 2, is by Cassius: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings." Cassius here is speaking about the stars as controllers of destiny, and expressing the idea that men themselves are responsible for their actions, not some preordained fate. Cassius, a nobleman, is speaking with his friend, Brutus, and trying to persuade him that, in the best interests of the republic, Julius Caesar must be stopped from becoming monarch of Rome. Brutus is aware of Caesar's intentions, but is torn between his friendship with Caesar and his duty to Rome. Eventually Cassius convinces Brutus to join him and the senators in assassinating Caesar.

Marc Antony fought with Octavian in the battle of Battle of Philippi, where these two men defeated the forced which Brutus and Cassius (the leaders of the conspiracy against Caesar) had gathered. He took back Armenia, which had been a Roman client state and had been taken over by the Persian Empire.
Which literary term best describes the phrase it was Greek to me which was coined by shakespeare?
It's a sentence. In Julius Caesar, where it first appeared, Casca tells Cassius and Brutus that Cicero had given a speech in Greek. He says that was very nice, but he had no idea what it was all about because Casca didn't speak Greek. When he says "for my part, it was Greek to me." he means exactly what he says--he didn't understand any of it because he didn't speak Greek.
What are the similarities between Brutus and Cassius?

What is Brutus's internal conflict.?
One of the senators closest to Julius Caesar, Brutus is highly principled and committed to what is best for Rome. When Caesar returns to the city after a successful military campaign, the citizens of Rome seem ready to offer him the position of emperor. Brutus wants to see Rome remain a republic and does not support the idea that Caesar should be named emperor. When Cassius asks Brutus to join the plot to assassinate Caesar, Brutus weighs his friendship with the leader against what he believes to be best for Rome. This is the basis of Brutus's internal conflict. Ultimately, Brutus decides that the needs of the republic supersede those of Caesar, and he takes part in the assassination of Caesar on the steps outside the Roman Senate.
