Octavian, without consulting my lord, but even so sending to him to demand ships and legions, invaded Sicily. More by luck than good management, for in the field there never was a less competent commander, he was victorious, rescued from a predicament of his own making by Agrippa. Pompey fled the island, with only three legions, and for some months waged a desultory war, mere brigandage, in Asia. There it became the duty of my lord's generals to hunt him down, which they did, successfully, if in the end shamefully. That was it: Pompey, taken prisoner, was dispatched. "Cruel necessity", my lord said when the news was brought him. I believe Caesar had uttered the same words when shown the murdered head of the Great Pompey.
