“Beware the Ides of March”
Of course, the “Ides of March” was bad luck for Julius Cae
sar, who was assassinated on March 15,44 bc„ but even ear
lier, people regarded the ides (the 13th or 15th depending
on the month) as unlucky Other unlucky days in the Roman
republican calendar were the calends (first of the month) and
the nones (nine days before the ides)
Although the calendar was reformed in 46 b t by Julius him
self, the notion of unlucky days continued In the 1816 Old
Farmer's Almanac we find these days transformed into old
women whose breath is poisonous “Old mother Cahnd look the
lead, next went the Nones, and last the Ides followed. To what
soever was true, honest or of good report, their breath was
as blasting and mildew These monsters are now no more, but
they so leavened the world with their abominable practices that
their influence will never be eradicated "
Thunder in March, fruitful hut sorrowful year.
