>In due course, my son Marcus, I shall explain what I found out in Athens about these Greeks, and demonstrate what advantage there may be in looking into their writings (while not taking them too seriously). They are a worthless and unruly tribe. Take this as a prophecy: when those folk give us their writings they will corrupt everything. All the more if they send their doctors here. They have sworn to kill all barbarians with medicine—and they charge a fee for doing it, in order to be trusted and to work more easily. They call us barbarians, too, of course, and Opici, a dirtier name than the rest. I have forbidden you to deal with doctors.

What did he mean by this?

greeks were degenerate boy lovers who cared far too much about arts and other things for sissies, romans were virile men who plowed their women like they plowed the soil without any of that singing and danging shit.

I feel sorry for him in a way, he was genuinely concerned that the greek obsession with homeric values would be passed on and undermine the discipline that made the success of the legions possible. He believed that as long as the via romana remained true to mos maiorum that republican Rome would stay unbeatable.

In the end, it was the senate's desire to keep the plebs in check and "steal" all the lands acquired in campaigns that would lead the plebs to becoming more loyal to their generals than the senate - and ultimately paving the way from the roman revolution. The Gracchi brothers saw it coming and they were right, their land redistribution laws would have saved the republic. It's not the greeks who made the romans worship "heroes", it was the senate itself.
