If we're talking Shakespeare...
Et tu, Brute? Then fall, Caesar!
(Julius Ceasar)
If we're talking Dante and retribution for traitors...
"That soul up there which has the greatest pain,"
The Master said, "is Judas Iscariot;
With head inside, he plies his legs without.
Of the two others, who head downward are,
The one who hangs from the black jowl is Brutus;
See how he writhes himself, and speaks no word.
And the other, who so stalwart seems, is Cassius.
But night is reascending, and 'tis time
That we depart, for we have seen the whole."
(Dante's Inferno. Circle 9)
