It may be that some general readers will be glad to have even so condensed an account of these matters as will be offered them. The original of the Amphitruo is not now thought to have been a work of the Middle Comedy but of the New Comedy, very possibly Philemon’s Νὺξ μακρά. A clue to the Greek play’s date is found in the description of Amphitryon’s battle with the Teloboians,[2] a battle fought after the manner of those of the Diadochi who came into prominence at the death of Alexander the Great. The date of the Plautine adaptation of this play, as in the case of the Asinaria, Aulularia, Bacchides,[3] and Captivi, is quite uncertain, beyond the fact that it no doubt belongs, like almost all of his extant work, to the last two decades of his life, 204 184 B.C. The Amphitruo is one of the five[4] plays in the first two volumes whose scene is not laid in Athens. The Ὀναγός of a certain Demophilus,[5] otherwise unknown to us, was the onginal of the Asinaria. The assertion of Libanus that he is his master’s Salus[6] is thought to be a fling at the honours decreed certain of the Diadochi, who were called, while still alive, Σωτῆρες. This possibility, together with the fact that the Pellaean[7] merchant and the Rhodian[8] Periphanes travel to Athens northern Greece and the Aegaean therefore being pacified and Athens at peace with Macedon would indicate that the Ὀναγός was written while Demetrius Poliorcetes controlled Macedon, 294 288 B.C. Very slender evidence connects the Aulularia with some unknown play of Menander’s in which a miser is represented δεδιὼς μή τι τῶν ἔιδον ὁ καπνος οἴχοιτο φερων. Euclio’s distress[9] at seeing any smoke escape from his house seems at least to suggest that Plautus may have borrowed the Aulularia from Menander. The allusion to praefectum mulierum,[10] rather than censorem, would seem to show that in the original γυναικοι ομον had been written; this would prove the Greek play to have been presented while Demetrius of Phalerum was in power at Athens (317 307 B.C.), where he introduced this detested office, which was done away with by 307 B.C. Ritschl[11] has shown clearly enough that the original of the Bacchides was Menander’s Δὶς ἐξαπατῶν. Amphitryon/The Comedy of Asses/The Pot of Gold/The Two Bacchises/The Captives Plautus (Titus Maccius), born about 254 BCE at Sarsina in Umbria, went to Rome, engaged in work connected with the stage, lost his money in commerce, then turned to writing comedies.

Twenty-one plays by Plautus have survived (one is incomplete). The basis of all is a free translation from comedies by such writers as Menander, Diphilus, and Philemon. So we have Greek manners of Athens about 300-250 BCE transferred to the Roman stage of about 225-185, with Greek places, people, and customs, for popular amusement in a Latin city whose own culture was not yet developed and whose manners were more severe. To make his plays live for his audience, Plautus included many Roman details, especially concerning slavery, military affairs, and law, with some invention of his own, notably in management of metres. The resulting mixture is lively, genial and humorous, with good dialogue and vivid style. There are plays of intrigue ('Two Bacchises, The Haunted House, Pseudolus'); of intrigue with a recognition theme ('The Captives, The Carthaginian, Curculio'); plays which develop character ('The Pot of Gold, Miles Gloriosus'); others which turn on mistaken identity (accidental as in the 'Menaechmi'; caused on purpose as in' Amphitryon'); plays of domestic life ('The Merchant, Casina, ' both unpleasant; 'Trinummus, Stichus, ' both pleasant). Loeb Classical Library's edition of Plautus is in five volumes. ![]() Plautus ranks with Terence as one of the two great Roman comic dramatists. Plautus’ works, loosely adapted from Greek plays, established a truly Roman drama in the Latin language. Titus Maccius Plautus (c. 254 – 184 BC), commonly known as Plautus, was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are the earliest works in Latin literature to have survived in their entirety. MACCI PLAVTI ASINARIA PERSONAE. Download aplikasi pdf reader.
