How does this allusion help contribute to the meaning of the play? Choose three options.

Cassius alludes to Aeneas carrying his father Anchises from the flames of Troy, then compares that rescue to carrying Caesar from the Tiber. The comparison shows that Cassius thinks he is stronger than Caesar and resents Caesar’s power, and it helps characterize Cassius by showing how he casts himself as the heroic Aeneas. It also links the play to the myth of Aeneas, a hero Cassius invokes; the allusion is not about the Trojan horse.
