Happiness, my father always insisted, results from freedom that only comes when fear has been eliminated; fear of the gods, fear of death.

I feared neither. I had never formally embraced my father’s path of Epicureanism but I had inherited his calm acceptance of the inevitable, against which it is futile to struggle.

I had submitted when resistance was folly and I had been carried along on the unpredictable current which forever swings and turns and changes and brings us all, at last, to some distant landfall, however battered our craft may be, however torn our sails and limp, the rigging of our aspirations.

Submission to Tyche was strongly endorsed when I was a boy, living in Caesarea. The Lady Fortuna had been good to me then, though I seldom attended at her shrine.

It was Tyche-Fortuna who drew me back there, numb with the loss of my Thalia and the shock of losing power, privilege, and all the worldly comforts of high office under Nero.
