Fabius is called away for some sacrifices and leaves his
second-in-command in charge and tells him not to attack. Minucius
immediately attacks Hannibal, and wins! Then people have many speeches,
and slandered Fabius, praising Minucius, who becomes a cock, full of
himself. Fabius says the thing he most fears is Minucius's
success!?!?!?!?! Fabius hurries back to the army saying he will punish
Minucius, and the people get scared for his life and say Minucius and
Fabius will have equal power over the army. Fabius is undisturbed,and
they each get two legions.
When Fabius says" The thing I most fear is Minucius's success " he is
saying that Minucius is dangerous because he is full of himself and will
do rash things in his pride.
more next week,
Bell
