Antony and Cytheris
There was a Greek actress named Cytheris who was Antony's mistress during 48-49 BC, and he gave some offence to respectable people by gallantly calling her Volumnia, a name almost sacred to the Romans because it was that of the wife of Coriolanus, the woman who, in 489 B.C., saved Rome from her husband's vengeance.
Antony took her about with him on the various political journeys he had to make to towns in the neighbourhood of the capital, and caused a good deal of outraged comment by introducing her to the local notables who received him.
He was, in fact, very proud of being her lover, for the stage and its celebrities thrilled him newly come as he was from the camp as greatly as it thrilled men ten years younger than himself who lived in Rome; and his was not the nature to conceal his feelings.
It has often been said that Antony never grew up, but remained, as Renan puts it, "a colossal child, capable of conquering a world, in capable of resisting a pleasure"; yet at this period of his life, at any rate, that criticism does not quite meet the case: his boyish attitude towards Rome's gaieties was due, rather, to his having been out of reach of them during the years in which young men were generally having their fill of them and becoming blase.
When he had thus to go out of Rome, he used to take his mother with him, assigning her a carriage or litter and its escort not any more splendid, as Plutarch tells us, than that given to Cytheris, a circumstance which led Cicero in after years to pretend that the elder lady, utterly neglected, was forced to follow the mistress of her profligate son as though the hussy had been her daughter-in-law.
But the fact that he did take his mother about with him suggests, on the contrary, that he was a very affectionate son whose goings-on were indulgently smiled at by the broad-minded Julia, accustomed as she had been all her life to the lax morals of the fashionable world. It is conceivable that she was very fond of Cytheris.
