== Becoming an Alastor ==
According to Plutarch, Cicero's hatred of Augustus led him to contemplate performing a ritual to turn himself into an alastor to haunt Augustus. 
The ritual is stated to require the person fuelled with hatred committing suicide at the hearth. This would cause their spirit to haunt the subject of their hatred as an alastor.
