Yes, and I've been having these strange dreams about Philoctetes urinating in Diogenes' barrel.

jj, I think you're right in saying that jealousy was a possible factor. Caesar was an incredibly gifted and genuinely popular man, especially among Roman citizens and of course the Army.
What however is not in doubt either by contemporary writers (the most important of whom is Sallust) or later ones (Dio Cassius, Suetonius, Livy, Plutarch et al), is the rationale for his murder. His grip and control of effective power in Rome through honour, loyalty and his appointments created envy and fear among the Senatorial classes.
Although he refused the title rex (king) just before his murder this did little to assuage the conspirators. He was an extraordinarily ambitious man whose greatest failing was perhaps an inability to see the effect of the power and control he held on others.
As for his'desire' for the title Imperator ; well this was a title often used by the Roman Army and people on successful field commanders. After victories a general was saluted thus by his soldiers. Sometimes it was confirmed by the Senate. The first Imperator was either Aemilius Paullus or Scipio Africanus some 150 years before Caesar's death. But...Caesar was the first to use the title permanently in 45 BC.
As for Alcibiades, a different character altogether. Owing his military reputation to a stunning naval victory at Cyzicus in 410 BC as general of the Athenian fleet at Samos, he later lost it big time against the Apartan leadership of Lysander and Cyrus during the Peloponnesian War. Perhaps as able as Caesar as politician, he compares poorly as a general. Murdered as a result of failure against the Spartans and died unmourned. A complete pervert as well.
Ah! It's all flooding back ; Latin syntax and Greek metre. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
That's all for now folks but beware as I cannot resist it.

Re: calendars
Yeah, that was a slip of the brain: I meant 'rex' not 'imperator'.

Nothing really apart from buggering young boys and vice versa as soon as he joins the Symposium. It's related that's the main reason he joined, not for any philosophical enlightenment.
