Trivia: The Ides of March being unlucky is linked to the death of what leader?
Cleopatra
Julius Caesar
Abraham Lincoln
Genghis Khan
Correct Answer: Julius Caesar
So why is this answer correct? : On March 15, 44 BCE, Julius Caesar was assassinated by fellow senators and countrymen who feared his growing power. Although the phrase “Beware the Ides of March” wasn’t popularized until the arrival of William Shakespeare’s play about the event in the 16th century, some people still look upon mid-March with superstitious worry.
