Hippolytus erat filius Thesei. Theseus erat rex Athenarum. Hippolytus iuvenis pulcher erat, sed puellas non amabat; ille enim deam Dianam colebat; haec dea amorem spernebat.

Read the speech below made by a British leader and answer the questions that follow. Once each tribe had one king, now two are inflicted on us – the governor to take out his anger on our lives, the procurator on our property. The agents of one, his centurions, and those of the other, his slaves, combine violence and insults against us. In war the braver men take the spoils, but now it is cowards and weaklings that rob our homes, kidnap our children and conscript our men. But what a tiny handful of invaders they are, if only we count up our own numbers! The Germans threw off their yoke and they had only a river, not the ocean to protect them. We have our country, our wives and our parents to fight for. The Romans have nothing but greed and extravagance. They will return home, as Julius Caesar returned home, if only we can equal the bravery of our ancestors. Tacitus: Agricola 15 (adapted and trans. M J Thorpe) 6.
