[cassius.] a friend should bear his friend’s infirmities,
but brutus makes mine greater than they are.
brutus. i do not, till you practice them on me.
cassius. you love me not.
brutus. i do not like your faults.

brutus. a flatterer’s would not, though they do appear
as huge as high olympus.

the allusion introduces the idea that, although the two men are very powerful and command armies, they are not gods but human beings.
the allusion emphasizes the size of the faults that brutus sees in cassius, which will lead to an honest discussion of the roots of the friends’ conflict.
the allusion to the gods introduces the notion of fate, suggesting that the relationship between cassius and brutus can be repaired only if it is fated to be.
