What is the meaning of this quote? "For once, upon a raw and gusty day,
The troubled Tiber chafing with her shores,
Caesar said to me 'Darest thou, Cassius, now
Leap in with me into this angry flood,
And swim to yonder point?' Upon the word,
Accoutred as I was, I plunged in
And bade him follow; so indeed he did.
The torrent roar'd, and we did buffet it
With lusty sinews, throwing it aside
And stemming it with hearts of controversy;
But ere we could arrive the point proposed,
Caesar cried 'Help me, Cassius, or I sink!'
I, as Aeneas, our great ancestor,
Did from the flames of Troy upon his shoulder
The old Anchises bear, so from the waves of Tiber
Did I the tired Caesar."

- Caesar asked Cassius to jump into the river with him.

- Cassius leapt into the river and Caesar followed.

- Caesar needed Cassius to save him from drowning.

Explanation:

A paraphrase is a new affirmation of the meaning of a text or passage using other words. The term itself is derived from the Latin paraphrase of ancient Greek, whose meaning is "an additional way of expressing itself." A paraphrase usually explains or clarifies the text being paraphrased.

For that reason, details (1) and (4) can not be paraphrase examples, they do not present any statement of the text, contrary to details (2), (3) and (5), which prove statements of the text using words different, so they are a perfect example of paraphrase.
