| Abstract | "Plautus' comedy Epidicus has the most convoluted plot in all known ancient Greek and Roman literature - despite being shorter than all but two other plays that survive in full from ancient drama. This book untwists the knots of plot, character, humour and culture that Plautus' Epidicus has tied into tangles. In four trenchant, comprehensive, yet reader-friendly chapters, this companion explores Epidicus as a case study in ancient Roman playwrighting; a source for insights about ancient Roman society; and a fruitful challenge for readers, actors, spectators and directors alike"-- Provided by publisher. |
