He spoke to Brutus, convincing him that Caesar was not immortal nor a god. He gave instances of when he and Caesar engaged in a swimming competition and then Caesar began to sink but he came to his aid. He also talked of a time when Caesar was sick and vulnerable. He recanted these events to tell Brutus that Caesar was not immortal as many believed he was. Therefore, he could be killed.
