		Pompeius, promised the Peloponnese, had not received it and used this as an excuse to fall back to his piratical ways, blockading Rome's food supply of Sicilian grain.

		It should at last be noted that Sextus was very successful against heavy odds over nearly a decade and adapted to guerrilla warfare as readily as to the governance of an island realm and to far-reaching naval operations.
		We are shown Cicero's gradual transit from all but ignoring Sextus to advertising him without mentioning the name of Pompeius, garnished with observations on Brutus as well as on the difficult financial side of bringing Sextus back into the political affairs of the capital.
		In spite of her elegant argument that not the least of Sextus' gifts to refugee nobiles consisted in giving them commands more or less equivalent to their prestige, sources for this policy are next to non-existent, as the interests of both Augustan and later authors narrowed to the handful of freedmen commanders known by name.

		And the land forces of Sextus at once retired to Messana, as if they, too, had shared in the defeat, whilst Caesar proceeded to take over those of the vanquished who were cast ashore, and going on into the sea itself, to set fire to all the vessels that ran aground in the shallow water.
		Sextus in his answer intimated that he would obey him, but did not do so; instead, because he despised Antony on account of his reverses and in view of his setting off immediately for Egypt, he held to his present plan and entered into negotiations with the Parthians.
		Sextus received information of this move beforehand, and in alarm, since his preparations were not yet complete, put out to sea, and taking the course which seemed most likely to afford escape, came to Nicomedeia.

	Holschuh Simmons: Lucan's Sextus Pompeius: Nefastus Embodiment of Pompey's Military Ambitions
		Thus the considerable connections between Caesar and Sextus and Erictho are merely an extension of those between Caesar and Pompey.
		The most pejorative connection between Caesar and Sextus, though, is their desire to wage war on their own people: Lucan bookends Sextus' appearance in the scene with references to his rebellious sea attacks at Sicily (422; 814).
		The scene between Sextus, also an "anti-Stoic" (Martindale 1977, 375), and Erictho is designed to extend Pompey's temporary transition away from Stoicism and toward Caesarian ambition to its most gruesome conclusion.

		Sextus Pompey, son of Pompey the Great, was a powerful naval commander who waged a long struggle against Octavian, the heir of Julius Caesar destined to become the emperor Augustus, in the years after Caesar's assassination.

		During this battle he was said to have vowed a temple to Apollo on the Palatine; he built it next to his own house, which further solidified his identity with the god.
