P. Terenti Comoediae...

P. Terenti Comoediae presents the complete comedies of Publius Terentius Afer (Terence), a playwright of the Roman Republic during the 2nd century BC. Terence was known for the elegance and refinement of his Latin, and his plays, adapted from Greek models, offer insightful observations on human nature and social relations. This edition, likely prepared with students in mind, provides an accessible entry point into the world of Roman comedy.

Terence's works, including "Andria," "Hecyra," "Heauton Timoroumenos," "Phormio," "Eunuchus," and "Adelphoe," were highly regarded in antiquity and have continued to be studied and performed throughout the centuries. His influence can be seen in later dramatic traditions, and his plays remain valuable for understanding Roman culture and literary history. This edition provides an opportunity to engage with the original Latin text and appreciate Terence's enduring artistry.
