Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Lend Me Your Ears...

Syllogism! A word used very well during the Roman Empire...but what is a syllogism? 
It is an logical argument where...
A= Red is sweet, B = Apples are red, therefore in C = Apples are sweet.
A categorical syllogism consists of three parts: the major premise, the minor premise and the conclusion.

Do you mere readers need another example?
Here I go again...

Major Premise: Grey animals are huge
Minor Premise: Elephants are grey
Conclusion: Elephants are huge

And another one...

Major Premise: All mortals die
Minor Premise: Some men are mortals
Conclusion: Some men die

Any complications in understanding what is syllogism
None?
Good...
Now I am going to present to you a few of my friends and as as my own syllogisms...

=

Ceaser was an ambitious man,
No ambitious man refuse to be king,
Caeser has trice refuse to become the King, 
Thus Ceaser was not an ambitious man.

=

Ambitious man only think of himself,
Ceaser think of others,
Hence Ceaser is not an ambitious man


Ceaser liberated hosatge and brought them home,
He shares the spoil of war with his people,
Thus Ceaser was not an ambitious man.

I believe that is all I can write, my lovely readers.
I am 'dying' to hear from you again...
Soon...
