Chapter X: Act III: Upon a Senecan monologue by Areus breaks Octavius to

announce the rout and death of Brutus. The ensuing dialogue of
balanced contrasts passes to Senecan speeches. After a chorus
Antony vaunts the deeds of his mythical ancestors and his own
prowess. The only function of Ventidius is to listen. Antony,
Octavius, and Lepidus, in balanced dialogue, then in longer
speeches, agree to divide the world. The chorus of soldiers
rejoices in the prospect of booty.
