Thus died, in the sixteenth year of his age, tranquil and without remorse, this man who has left in history the memory of a policy the most implacable. "The good fortune of Sylla," says Seneca, "was a reproach to the gods." We shall not contradict the philosopher, although the gods do not appear to us so culpable. But we feel obliged to seek an explanation for Sylla's severity after so many massacres. Did we not know that the Romans made a divinity of success, it would amaze us that the results of a victory seemed to them, like the victory itself, an act of the gods, or at least an act directed by the gods, leaving the soul of the conqueror as undisturbed as that of the lictor striking with his axe in obedience to the Consul's order. This ancient fatalism, which filled the drama of Eschylus and the conscience of the Greek people with religious terrors, retained its sway at Rome amidst the growing incredulity of the times, but exercised itself coldly without attacking the magnificent and fathomless mysteries of the Prometheus. The Roman mind had not so lofty a range as that of the Greeks, and no man disquieted himself about a lack of harmony between destiny and the moral law. I.
