Note to players: Original-language terms required. Niccolò Machiavelli analogizes one of these concepts as a raging river that floods places where wisdom and this other concept are not there to resist it. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name these two concepts central to Machiavellian leadership. One is a set of qualities necessary for a ruler to achieve greatness, while the other refers to the unpredictability and chance nature of events.
ANSWER: virtù AND Fortuna
[10e] Virtù (“veer-TOO”) and Fortuna are extensively dealt with in this seminal work of Machiavelli. This treatise infamously states that “It is much safer to be feared than loved, when only one is possible.”
ANSWER: The Prince [or Il Principe or De Principatibus]
[10m] The second part of this other Machiavelli work, often said to be a more honest reflection of his beliefs, asks whether virtù or Fortuna was more responsible for the rise of Roman power chronicled in Ab urbe condita.
ANSWER: Discourses on Livy [or Discorsi sopra la prima deca di Tito Livio]
