Book Description
The rollicking comedies of Plautus, who brilliantly adapted Greek plays for Roman audiences c. 205–184 BCE, are the earliest Latin works to survive complete and are cornerstones of the European theatrical tradition from Shakespeare and Molière to modern times. This second volume of a new Loeb edition of all twenty-one of Plautus’s extant comedies presents Casina, Cistellaria, Curculio, Epidicus, and Menaechmi with freshly edited texts, lively modern translations, introductions, and ample explanatory notes.

Book Description
Excerpt from Plautus Greetings, ye worthiest Of spectators, who hold good faith in the highest honour, and, Good Faith, you. If I have told the truth, give me a clear sign Of it, so that I may know from the very outset that you are fair-minded toward me. (waits hopefully for applause) Those be wise men, in my opinion, who take Old wine and those who love to see Old plays. Yes, liking as you do the works and words Of ancient days, you should like Old plays better than all others; for, really, the new comedies that are produced nowadays are much more worthless than our new coins. We actors, having learned from popular rumour that it is the plays Of Plautus you keenly desire, present an ancient comedy Of his which has already been approved by you Older men. TO the younger, I am sure, it is unfamiliar; but it shall be our earnest endeavour to make them familiar with it. This play, when it was first presented, surpassed all others. In that era lived the garland Of poets who have now departed to the common bourne. Yet absent though they be, they profit us as though present. Now let me earnestly entreat you all to accord our company your kind attention. Away with care and thought of debts; let no man dread a dun! The games are on; a game is on (chuckling) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
