  Clodius Aesopus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clodius Aesopus, the Roman tragedian, flourished during the time of Cicero, but the dates of his birth and death are not known.
Plutarch (Cicero, 5) mentions it as reported of Aesopus, that, while representing Atreus deliberating how he should revenge himself on Thyestes, the actor forgot himself so far in the heat of action that with his truncheon he struck and killed one of the servants crossing the stage.
Aesopus made a last appearance in 55 BC--when Cicero tells us that he was advanced in years--on the occasion of the games given by Pompey at the dedication of his theatre.

 Marcus Tullius Cicero Bio
Clodius, indeed, continued to pursue him till he accomplished his banishment and the confiscation of his property.
Accordingly, in B.C. 58, Clodius, then tribune, brought forward a law that whoever had put to death a Roman citizen, without trial, "should be denied the use of fire and water" (the Roman formula for banishment).
The disturbances following the death of Clodius led to the appointment of Pompey as consul without colleague (practically dictator), in B.C. One of his acts was to pass a law postponing the provincial administration of consuls and prætors until five years after their year of office.

He then went over the mountains to Farther Gaul and reviewed his army--the army that he had so often led to victory.
He was married to Fulvia, a scheming woman of light character, widow of Clodius (who afterwards become wife of Marc Antony), and he was harassed by enormous debts.
At first, he pretended to act against Cæsar as usual; then he cautiously assumed the appearance of neutrality; and, when the proper opportunity arrived, he threw all the weight of his influence in favor of the master to whom he had sold himself.

One of these consequences was that inconsiderate statesmen would only too readily seize the chance of reducing the price of the corn still lower, as was done by Saturninus in 100 B.C., for political purposes.
To prevent this Sulla abolished the Gracchan system _in toto_; but it was renewed in 73 B.C., and in 58 the demagogue P. Clodius made the distribution of corn gratuitous.
