Ides of March (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ides of March (the "middle of March") is the 15th day of the Roman month of Martius. The date is famous because Julius Caesar was assassinated on that date. The term may also refer to one of the following:

  • Ides of March, a novel by Thornton Wilder, describing, in a series of documents, the events leading up to the death of Julius Caesar.
  • The Ides of March, an early 1970s band
  • "The Ides of March", an instrumental song by Iron Maiden from their 1981 album, Killers.
  • "Ides of March", a song by Silverstein from their 2005 Album, Discovering The Waterfront.
  • "Ides of March", the name of the season 4 finale of the television series Xena: Warrior Princess. The events of the episode roughly correlate with the key elements in the Shakespeare play, Julius Caesar, with Xena warning Brutus to beware the Ides of March, implying Caesar had become uncontrollably megalomaniacal.
