Google "Julius Caesar Kai sy, teknon?" for sources. Here is one http://www.calvin.edu/weblogs/language/comments/hit_the_links/ The famous event that occurred on the Ides of March is of course the assassination of Julius Caesar, and the linguistic event associated with this is the utterance of Caesar’s final words: Et tu, Brute! “You too, Brutus!”. In fact, it may well be that Caesar never uttered these words. As I mentioned in my discussion of The Passion, upper class Romans all knew Greek well. Speeches in the Senate were made in Latin, but ordinary conversation, especially among intimates such as Caesar and Brutus, is believed often to have been in Greek. If Caesar actually said what is attributed to him, the words he used may well have been: καὶ σὺ τέκνον [kai sy, teknon].
