That's just the point, that only "in some way"...
Pompey was a slave to his own greatness.
Caesar was a slave to his ambition.
Cicero was a slave to his eloquence.
Lucullus was a slave to his gluttony.
There was one free man in Rome - the slave Spartacus.
Felix Krivin
What I mean is that “complete freedom” is already lawlessness, a “Russian revolt”.
