There is the Saone river, which flows through through the territories of the Audei and Sequani into the Rhone with such slowness, that it can not be seen by the eye as to the direction it flows. The Helvetii crossed this with rafts and boats that are joined. When it was informed to Caesar by spies that the Helvetii already had three parts of their forces across the river, but the other was left on the Saone, he set out with three legions during the watch, and came up to the division that had not yet crossed the river. Attacking them encumbered with baggage, an not expecting him, he cut a great part of them to pieces, the rest took themselves to flight, and concealed themselves in the woods

(6) Erant omnino itinera duo, quibus itineribus domo exire possent: unum per Sequanos, angustum et difficile, inter montem Iuram et flumen Rhodanum, vix qua singuli carri ducerentur, mons autem altissimus impendebat, ut facile perpauci prohibere possent; alterum per provinciam nostram, multo facilius atque expeditius, propterea quod inter fines Helvetiorum et Allobrogum, qui nuper pacati erant, Rhodanus fluit isque non nullis locis vado transitur. Extremum oppidum Allobrogum est proximumque Helvetiorum finibus Genava. Ex eo oppido pons ad Helvetios pertinet. Allobrogibus sese vel persuasuros, quod nondum bono animo in populum Romanum viderentur, existimabant vel vi coacturos ut per suos fines eos ire paterentur. Omnibus rebus ad profectionem comparatis diem dicunt, qua die ad ripam Rhodani omnes conveniant. Is dies erat a. d. V. Kal. Apr. L. Pisone, A. Gabinio consulibus.
[7] Caesari cum id nuntiatum esset, eos per provinciam nostram iter facere conari, maturat ab urbe proficisci et quam maximis potest itineribus in Galliam ulteriorem contendit et ad Genavam pervenit. Provinciae toti quam maximum potest militum numerum imperat (erat omnino in Gallia ulteriore legio una), pontem, qui erat ad Genavam, iubet rescindi. Ubi de eius adventu Helvetii certiores facti sunt, legatos ad eum mittunt nobilissimos civitatis, cuius legationis Nammeius et Verucloetius principem locum obtinebant, qui dicerent sibi esse in animo sine ullo maleficio iter per provinciam facere, propterea quod aliud iter haberent nullum: rogare ut eius voluntate id sibi facere liceat. Caesar, quod memoria tenebat L. Cassium consulem occisum exercitumque eius ab Helvetiis pulsum et sub iugum missum, concedendum non putabat; neque homines inimico animo, data facultate per provinciam itineris faciundi, temperaturos ab iniuria et maleficio existimabat. Tamen, ut spatium intercedere posset dum milites quos imperaverat convenirent, legatis respondit diem se ad deliberandum sumpturum: si quid vellent, ad Id. April. reverterentur.
[8] Interea ea legione quam secum habebat militibusque, qui ex provincia convenerant, a lacu Lemanno, qui in flumen Rhodanum influit, ad montem Iuram, qui fines Sequanorum ab Helvetiis dividit, milia passuum XVIIII murum in altitudinem pedum sedecim fossamque perducit. Eo opere perfecto praesidia disponit, castella communit, quo facilius, si se invito transire conentur, prohibere possit. Ubi ea dies quam constituerat cum legatis venit et legati ad eum reverterunt, negat se more et exemplo populi Romani posse iter ulli per provinciam dare et, si vim facere conentur, prohibiturum ostendit. Helvetii ea spe deiecti navibus iunctis ratibusque compluribus factis, alii vadis Rhodani, qua minima altitudo fluminis erat, non numquam interdiu, saepius noctu si perrumpere possent conati, operis munitione et militum concursu et telis repulsi, hoc conatu destiterunt.

[3] His rebus adducti et auctoritate Orgetorigis permoti constituerunt ea quae ad proficiscendum pertinerent comparare, iumentorum et carrorum quam maximum numerum coemere, sementes quam maximas facere, ut in itinere copia frumenti suppeteret, cum proximis civitatibus pacem et amicitiam confirmare. Ad eas res conficiendas biennium sibi satis esse duxerunt; in tertium annum profectionem lege confirmant. Ad eas res conficiendas Orgetorix deligitur. Is sibi legationem ad civitates suscipit. In eo itinere persuadet Castico, Catamantaloedis filio, Sequano, cuius pater regnum in Sequanis multos annos obtinuerat et a senatu populi Romani amicus appellatus erat, ut regnum in civitate sua occuparet, quod pater ante habuerit; itemque Dumnorigi Haeduo, fratri Diviciaci, qui eo tempore principatum in civitate obtinebat ac maxime plebi acceptus erat, ut idem conaretur persuadet eique filiam suam in matrimonium dat. Perfacile factu esse illis probat conata perficere, propterea quod ipse suae civitatis imperium obtenturus esset: non esse dubium quin totius Galliae plurimum Helvetii possent; se suis copiis suoque exercitu illis regna conciliaturum confirmat. Hac oratione adducti inter se fidem et ius iurandum dant et regno occupato per tres potentissimos ac firmissimos populos totius Galliae sese potiri posse sperant.
[4] Ea res est Helvetiis per indicium enuntiata. Moribus suis Orgetoricem ex vinculis causam dicere coegerunt; damnatum poenam sequi oportebat, ut igni cremaretur. Die constituta causae dictionis Orgetorix ad iudicium omnem suam familiam, ad hominum milia decem, undique coegit, et omnes clientes obaeratosque suos, quorum magnum numerum habebat, eodem conduxit; per eos ne causam diceret se eripuit. Cum civitas ob eam rem incitata armis ius suum exequi conaretur multitudinemque hominum ex agris magistratus cogerent, Orgetorix mortuus est; neque abest suspicio, ut Helvetii arbitrantur, quin ipse sibi mortem consciverit.

All of Gaul is divided into three parts, first of which is the Belgae, next Aqutani, last of which the Celtae, which make Gaul. All the languages, governments, and religions are different. The Aqutania are next to the Garumna river, the Sequana are divded by the Belgis Montrona. Among them the Belgae are the manliest, because they live the farthest from our province, little do they often trade with the merchants the things that feminise the soul, they live the closest to the Germans, across the Rhemun, where they wage battle daily. The helvetii are the manliest among the Gauls, because they fight their border are contending against the Germans, there for they fight battle daily. Their borders are  from Central Gaul, touch the Rohando river, up to the Garumna river, to the central ocean, ending at the Belgarum, across the Rhenum river from the Helvetii is the Sequnia. The Belgae extend from Gaul, to the lower Rheni river. The Aqunia are from the Garumna river to the Pyrenaeos mountains to the ocean and down to Spain.
Among the Helvetii Ogeterix is the most noble and the richest. In the time when M. Messala, and  M. Pisone were consuls he went after more power and wealth to extend his borders: to achieve more manliness amoung all the people, through central Gaul.

All of these tribes differ between each other with regard to language institution and law. The Galahad river  divides the Gaul from the Aquatani and the Matrona and Sequana. All of these people in Belgae were strong, therefore what a civilization but human nature is long absent when conquering, often the merchants visit there but not enough, who comes in and reaches to the weakened soul, their neighbor is Germanis, who dwell across rehenum who maintain and carry on warfare.

Synopsis of Julius Caesar and the Gallic Wars

     The three major parts to the Gallic wars is the campaign  against the Helvetii, The war against the Suebi, and the Punitive expeditions. In 61 B.C. the Helvetii were planning a mass migration, because their lands were being encroached by their northern neighbors. As they moved south their leader made many alliances with other barbaric factions. Orgetorix their leader had summoned up a size able force of 10,000 men. Orgetorix was later slain in a dispute in his own encampment. They departed for the long planed for migration on the 28th of march. When caesar heard of this he quickly went to oppose them, and meet them at the Rhone river bridge. The Helvetii sent over an emissary promiseing they would do no harm. Caesar used this to stall so that his men could build up fortifications. When they finished Caesar refused their requests and told them that any forceful atempt to cross would be opposed. Caesar Quickly left for Gaul and took command of three legions and enlisted two more. He used the quickest route to get there. When he arrived he surprised the Helvetii and defeated one quarter that hadn't crossed the river. The Halvetii disrupted the romans supplies and turned the table. The romans chose a hill near the town of Bibracte to make their stand. Romans eventually won and sent them back to their homes as a buffer to prevent the Germanic tribes from heading down south.
     After that their was a conflict between the Audui and the Arvern. there were Germanic mercenaries that had been hired, but they turned on their employers. They had gotten heavily reinforced and the situation was getting out of control . So Caesar intervened and beat them at the battle of Vosges. In 57 B.C. Caesar intervened again with Gallic affairs and came close to defeat from a surprise attack at the battle of the Sabis.
     In 56 B.C. a sea fairing people had built a fleat which required the Romans to build galleys. Caesar again defeated the tribes. In 55 B.C Caesar took his men on a Punitive Expeditions. F irst he went against the Germans, but never engaged in battle. The a similar onee was mounted against the Britons. When He arrived the meat an unexpected sight of massed Chariots. He would leave and come back in 54 B.C. with a much larger force. He successfully defeated them making them pay tribute to Rome.

Hydra

The Hydra fighting Heracles | Paestan black figure hydra C6th B.C. | J. Paul Getty Museum, MalibuThe Hydra was gigantic 9 headed water serpent, that haunted the swamps of Lerna. Hercules was sent to destroy her as one of his twelve labors. For each of the heads he cut off two more took their place. He had to apply burning brands to the stumps of the decapitated heads preventing regeneration. A giant crab came to help the hydra. They both were defeated and put into the stars. We now know them as Cancer the crab, and the Hydra.    

Bellerophontes

Bellerophontes was one of the greatest of the Greek heroes. he was born in Corinth. His father was Poseidon and mother wwas the queen of Corinth .When he was young he captured a winged horse or Pegasus as it drank from the towns water. He was later exiled for the murder of a relative. He traveled to the court of King Proitos in Argos. There the Queen Stheneboia fell in love with him. When he turned her down she went to the king and told him that Bellerophontes tried to violate her. Proitos sent him to king Iobates in Lykia with an enclosed letter which made a request that the boy be put to death. Iobates was reluctant so he sent Bellerophontes to kill the fire breathing Chimera which was revenging the land. He succeeded and returned alive. The King then sent him to kill the Solymoi tribe, and then the Amazons. And yet again he was victorious. The King finally told his to ambush and kill the boy, but Bellerophontes slewed them all. The king then realized that Bellerophontes was the son of a god. He welcomed him into his house as son-in-law and heir. That was not good enough for Bellerophontes, so he decided to ride up to heaven on his Pegasus. This greatly angered Zeus, so he sent gladfly to sting the horse. This caused the horse to buck and send Bellerophontes back down to earth. He would wander earth hated by both men and gods.
