Review

At last we have an excellent edition for college students of Plautus's Miles with notes in English...Its virtues are many...The Miles [will be] a joy to read and teach. Classical World A fine edition of the Miles Gloriosus...Especially useful for the student. Classical Bulletin Thanks to the editors, undergraduates will now have accessible a thoroughly helpful and interesting commentary. Journal of Roman Studies --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product 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 Moliere to modern times. This first volume of a new Loeb edition of all 21 of Plautus' extant comedies presents "Amphitruo", "Asinaria", "Aulularia", "Bacchides", and "Captivi" with freshly edited texts, lively modern translations, and ample explanatory notes. Accompanying the plays is a detailed introduction to Plautus' oeuvre as a whole, discussing his techniques of translation and adaptation, his use of Roman humor, stage conventions, language and meter, and his impact on the Greco-Roman comedic theater and beyond.

great resource 16 Mar 2006
By A. Fandl - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this to help in my class on Plautus (reading the Amphitruo and Casina) and it has become my constant companion. Plautus is full of colloquial Latin which can be difficult to understand, and the Loeb gives a fantastic translation. Also it is great for the part in the Amphitruo's prologue when Mercury uses legal speak, which is probably the toughest section of the entire play.

Roman Plays 19 May 2009
By Carolin M. Henry - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
These plays would certainly have been hilarious when they were played to the audience for which they were written. Although time has changed the way an audience thinks I still could not help laughing at some of the antics the characters got up to. I laughed also because I thought of the Roman audience laughing at such ridiculous things. This book was purchased for study however it is also quite entertaining.

Timeless 27 Aug 2002
By thebigscot - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This play, along with another of Plautus' works "Captivii" were combined by Stephen Sondheim to give us the musical "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum"
