Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plautus, Five of His Plays Plautus would seem to be an author whose excellence has been somewhat overlooked, and who has hardly received the attention which his real merits deserve. Terence has fared better, and perhaps mainly for two reasons. In the first place, he makes an annual appearance at Westminster, which gives him a distinction, and raises him at once to a higher plane than that which his rival occupies. Plautus has only been very occasionally selected for this purpose: and his Trinummus is, I believe, the only comedy that has ever of late years been presented by the scholars of that school of learning. In the second place, Terence is commended to us by the number of short pithy sayings which his plays contain, and which are among the current coin of all who quote.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plautus, Vol. 4 of 5: The Little Carthaginian, Pseudolus, The Rope The date, however, of the Roman presentation of the Pseudolus is definitely established by the didascalia as 191 D.C. Geographical and military allusions in the play make the year 309 or 308 a probable time for the production of its Greek original. But whether the Greek play was written by Menander, Philemon, or someone else is doubtful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Pot of Gold and Other Plays written by Plautus and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-07-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the supreme comic writers of the Roman world, Plautus (c.254-184 BC), skilfully adapted classic Greek comic models to the manners and customs of his day. This collection features a varied selection of his finest plays, from the light-hearted comedy Pseudolus, in which the lovesick Calidorus and his slave try to liberate his lover from her pimp, to the more subversive The Prisoners, which raises serious questions about the role of slavery. Also included are The Brothers Menaechmus, which formed the prototype for Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, and The Pot of Gold, whose old miser Euclio is a glorious study in avarice. Throughout, Plautus breathes new, brilliant life into classic comic types - including deceitful twins, scheming slaves, bitter old men and swaggering soldiers - creating an entertaining critique of Roman life and values.

Download or read book Five Comedies written by Plautus and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 1999-03-12 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a book worthy of high praise... All versions are exceedingly witty and versatile, in verse that ripples from one's lips, pulling all the punches of Plautus, the knockabout king of farce, and proving that the more polished Terence can be just as funny. Accuracy to the original has been thoroughly respected, but look at the humour in rendering Diphilius' play called Synapothnescontes as Three's a Shroud... Students in schools and colleges will benefit from short introductions to each play, to Roman stage conventions, to different types of Greek and Roman comedy, and there is a note on staging, with a diagram illustrating a typical Roman stage and further diagrams of the basic set for each play. The translators have paid more attention to stage directions than is usually given in translations, because they aim to show how these plays worked.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plautus, Vol. 5 of 5: With An English Translation; Stichus, Three Bob Day, Truculentus, The Tale Of a Travelling Bag, Fragments The Stichus was adapted from Menander's 'a8eaq', a second 'a8eacfioa', and was presented at Rome in a.d. 200. The date of presentation of its original is less certain. The combined facts that the brothers had been able to enjoy three years of apparently peaceful1 trading in Asia, that the people of Am bracia had envoys Athens,2 that Pinacium intends to make things unpleasant for any king 3 who blocks his path and expects such an impressive welcome from his mistress, lead Hueffner 5 to believe that the 'abcaqsoi was produced in 306 b.c. When Demetrius Poliorcetes Wintered at Athens With much pomp and circumstance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
