By recalling that he once rescued Caesar from the Tiber, Cassius suggests that he is stronger and more capable than Caesar, revealing his jealousy and contempt. The allusion also helps readers understand Cassius’s self-image and connects the play’s events to a heroic myth he admires. It does not teach the audience about the Trojan horse.
