Every connection has a major thing to it, but also other smaller things that can be considered. With Poe vs King, it's horror authors. But not only were they horror authors, they dealt with tragedies and personal issues while still pursuing their careers to not only be the greatest horror authors, but considered some of the greatest authors period. With JFK vs Caesar, the first thing that comes to a person's mind is their assassinations. That's a given. But that's also a testament to not only the fame of their death, but as leaders in general. When great leaders are considered, some of the first that come to mind would be those two, in some ways the "icons" of their respective nations. While Washington was a Founding Father, JFK is the poster boy of American idealism, the hope for tomorrow, and how even in an untimely death he inspired his nation. And if you want to talk "war leaders", first off, Caesar was not a dictator in the modern sense. A dictator today is a much more negative concept than it was back then, when in Ancient Rome it was just a military leader put in charge in a time of war. Caesar even refused the crown when it was given to him, thrice. As well, JFK, along with the things he did for peace, was embroiled in the Cuban Missile Crisis, the beginnings of the Cold War, and the Bay of Pigs Invasion.

I hope that didn't come off as some uncalled for rant or something.

Bloop.
