22. Plautus: Aulularia
    T. Maccius plautus Aulularia. The following translation originally appeared on a website hosted by the University of Richmond.  
    http://www.forumromanum.org/literature/aululariaeng.html
    
    Extractions: That no one may wonder who I am, I shall inform you briefly. I am the household God of that family from whose house you just saw me come. For many years now I have possessed this dwelling, and preserved it for the sire and grandsire of its present occupant. Now this man's grandsire as a suppliant entrusted to me, in utter secrecy, a hoard of gold : he buried it in the centre of the hearth, entreating me to guard it for him. When he died he could not bearso covetous was he to reveal its existence to his own son, and he chose to leave him penniless rather than apprise him of his treasure. Some land, a little only, he did leave him, whereon to toil and moil for a miserable livelihood. After the death of him who had committed the gold to my keeping, I began to observe whether the son would hold me in greater honour than his father had. As a matter of fact, his neglect grew and grew apace, and he showed me less honour. I did the same by him: so he also died. He left a son who occupies this house at present, a man of the same mould as his sire and grandsire. He has one daughter. She prays to me constantly, with daily gifts of incense, or wine, or something: she gives me garlands. Out of regard for her I caused Euclio to discover the treasure here in order that he might the more easily find her a husband, if he wished. For she has been ravished by a young gentleman of very high rank. He knows who it is that he has wronged; who he is she does not know, and as for her father, he is ignorant of the whole affair.

24. Moore, The Theater Of Plautus, University Of Texas Press
    Mooreexamines plautus s metatheatrical techniques, such as actors asides and monologues to the audience.  
    http://www.utexas.edu/utpress/books/moothe.html
    
    Extractions: "I consider this the best full-length discussion of Plautine metatheater in existence.... The author talks lucidly about Plautus in terms that the modern student of dramatic literature can grasp, even without knowledge of Plautus.... In short, this is a major contribution to theory about Roman drama and to an understanding of Plautus." The relationship between actors and spectators has been of perennial interest to playwrights. The Roman playwright Plautus (ca. 200 BCE) was particularly adept at manipulating this relationship. Plautus allowed his actors to acknowledge freely the illusion in which they were taking part, to elicit laughter through humorous asides and monologues, and simultaneously to flatter and tease the spectators. These metatheatrical techniques are the focus of Timothy J. Moore's innovative study of the comedies of Plautus. The first part of the book examines Plautus' techniques in detail, while the second part explores how he used them in the plays Pseudolus Amphitruo Curculio Truculentus Casina , and Captivi . Moore shows that Plautus employed these dramatic devices not only to entertain his audience but also to satirize aspects of Roman society, such as shady business practices and extravagant spending on prostitutes, and to challenge his spectators' preconceptions about such issues as marriage and slavery. These findings forge new links between Roman comedy and the social and historical context of its performance.

30. Plautus (c. 254-184 B.C.)
    A biography of the Roman playwright plautus; includes a list of related links.  
    http://www.usefultrivia.com/biographies/plautus_001.html
    
    Extractions: PLAUTUS P LAUTUS was born in Umbria about the middle of the third century B.C. He is said to have been a slave and afterwards a stage-carpenter. But these may be stories invented to account for his knowledge of slave character and his connection, though a man of humble origin, with the theatre. He produced his first play in 224 B.C., and wrote without a rival till his death forty years later. Twenty of his plays remain. Like his successors, and Terence , he was largely indebted to Menander and the later comedians of Athens, though he is probably more original than either of them. His method of borrowing in some points resembles that of Shakespeare himself. Characters with Greek names, and nominally living in Greek cities, act as Romans, and refer to Roman customs as familiar things and to the Greeks as foreigners. For this reason the plays of Plautus are much more valuable than those of Terence as pictures of Roman life. In one play, the Poenulus , or Young Carthaginian, written at the time of the second Punic War, we have a unique picture of the Roman enemies drawn by the popular Roman poet; and it is very fairly and generously drawn. Plautus, like Terence, draws only on recognised types of the later Athenian comedythe stern or indulgent father, the spendthrift son, the clever and faithful slave, and the shameless parasitewho were all classified and fitted with a characteristic mask. Considering these limits, the genius of Plautus for developing amusing situations and lively dialogue is very great and has been appreciatedin adaptations and imitationsby Shakespeare

    Extractions: TITUS MACCIUS PLAUTUS (originally perhaps Maccus ; cf. Asin. Prol. 11), the great comic dramatist of ancient Rome , was born at Sarsina in Umbria according to the testimony of Festus , who calls him Umber Sarsinas, and Jerome. The date of his death was 184 B.C. (Cicero, Brutus xv. 60). The date of his birth depends upon an inference based on the statement of Cicero De senectute, xiv. 50) that he was an old man when he wrote his Truculentus and Pseudolus. The latter play was 1 Some doubt has been expressed as to whether the eggs are extruded or hatched within the body. At a scientific meeting of the Zoological Society of London , on the 17th of December 1901, Mr Oldfield Thomas read a letter from Mr G. Metcalfe, who had lived many years in a region inhabited by these * animals. He had made special inquiries of the authorities of the Sydney Melbourne Brisbane and Hobart museums, and published questions in the newspapers , but no evidence has reached him that the eggs of Ornithorhyncus have ever been obtained except by the dissection of the mother.

    Extractions: Erlangen Is there any traveller who has not had reason to sigh like this: "The guides were going through their prearranged program, paying no heed to us who begged that they would cut short these harangues and their expounding of most of the inscriptions". However, this is not the com-plaint of an angry customer who has written a letter to his travel agency in order to get a refund. No, it is the expression of displeasure uttered some 1900 years ago by Plutarch, the priest at the oracle of Delphi. Living at this focus of ancient tourism, he had to watch the periegetai , as they were called in Greek , every day and got angry at their shameless behavior and vain words. One can gather from the scattered testimonia that those periegetai were to be met in every place, where tourists or pilgrims could be expected. They were so prevalent that it was not considered unreasonable to fear that one could not escape from them even in the Underworld, as Lucian tells us.

    Extractions: People People Menu 251 B.C. - 184 B.C. Titus Maccius Plautus's birth appears to have been no later than 251 B.C. in Sarsina, a town of three thousand in Umbria. He died in or around 184 B.C. and his epitaph from his tombstone is known to us. His life began surrounded by theater in one fashion or another. As a youth he worked as a handyman in the theater and progressed to acting. Plautus was fairly successful in theater. After his acting career, Plautus worked in several arenas. He was a merchant and also a moneylender. It was as a moneylender that he lost his wealth and became bankrupt. After this financial disaster and during the Second Punic War, he served in the Roman Army for a period of six years. Upon his return to Rome, Plautus, being too old to act, became a very popular dramatist. During this time he wrote the Saturio and the Addictus, among others. His plays could be seen in production long after his death. There has been much confusion in the past about which plays were actually Plautus' and which were imitators. It has been stated that Plautus had a habit of "touching up" plays written by others, which would lead to confusion. Later playwrights began to use some of his plays in their own plays. Menaechmi is the play on which Shakespeare based his own work Comedy of Errors.
