What ancient writers provide historians with information on Pompey?
The ancient historians who covered the period of Roman history in Pompey's days were Appian and Cassius Dio. Plutarch wrote a short biography of Pompey. Cicero was not a historian. He wrote a few things about Pompey in his letters. He wrote about specific matters that were happening in Roman politics, some of which involved Pompey. Atticus was not a historian either. He was one of the people Cicero wrote his letters to. He did not write anything about Pompey.

Why did Cicero hate Caesar?
Cicero earnestly believed in the ideal of the Roman Republic, one equally balanced by the consuls, the Senate, and the Triubunal of the Plebs (Plebians). Therefore, when Caesar defeated the consul Gnaeus Pompey, Cicero saw Caesar as a threat to his beloved Republic, as did many. And, although Caesar wasn't the monarchy-loving despot his enemies made him out to be, he was not above ignoring constitutional restrictions in order to do what he felt was best for the Roman people.The action that deeply embittered Caesar to Cicero occured in 45 BCE, when he was declared dictator perpetuo - dictator in perpetuity, or dictator for life. Cicero felt this only confirmed his suspicians that Caesar wished to usurp the Repulic of Rome and establish a monarchy. Cicero was never outspoken in his resentment of Caesar (may of his critics suffered somewhat grisly fates) but he was symathetic for plots to remove him from office. Despite this, he took no part in Cassius and Brutus' poorly composed plot to kill Caesar, and although he sympathesied with their aims, he felt the plot itself to be naive as to the aftermath of Caesar's death.
