Gaius's Suicide

Gaius feels betrayed, but he is talked out of committing suicide by a couple of his friends. They try to get him across the tiber, and they are going to fight until he can get past. But they are killed. Gaius has with him a single servant, says plutarch, by name philocrates. He barely succeeded in escaping into a sacred grove of the furies. And there fell by the hand of phil Socrates, who slew himself upon his master. That's essentially assisted suicide. Is really sad, this ending.
