According to one probably apochryphal legend, Plautus was so successful financially as an actor that he decided to go into business at which he failed, losing all his money. He then supposedly took a job at a mill and used his spare time to write plays. In any case, his background as an actor undoubtedly accounts for the "playability" of his material. They generally "work." Plautus' plays were apparently written to amuseto actually make people laugh rather than to grind some political or pholosophical axe. They reflect his practical background in Italian popular comedy as well as the influence of Greek New Comedy. (See Menander) In fact all of Plautus' characters pretend to be Greek ( fabulae palliatae ). The plays are usually set in or near Athens. Plautus enjoys spoofing the "Greekish" tone of of the plays. For example, in

His plays are versions of Greek New Comedy, which emphasized young men in love with slave girls, mistaken identities, cunning servants, and deceived masters. Plautus added earthy Italian comic elements and his own boisterous wit. Subtle techniques of plot construction and characterization did not concern him as much as producing laughter. He was a master of dialogue, writing a lively stream of puns, love talk, and abuse. Related Topics: Suetonius , swih TOH nee uhs (A.D. 69?-140?) was a Roman biographer and historian.

(Full name Titus Maccius Plautus.) INTRODUCTION Plautus was one of ancient Rome's most popular playwrights. Of the roughly one hundred and thirty comedies attributed to him in antiquity, twenty-one survive, one of which is a fragment. Plautus derived the plots for his plays from Greek originals by such playwrights as Menander, Diphilus, Philemon, and Alexis, adapting them to the tastes and interests of his Roman audience. Plautus' plays, like their models, are characterized as New Comedy, which is generally concerned with exploring the personal relationships of ordinary men and women, their fears, loves, and financial preoccupations. BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Very little is known of Plautus's life. He was born into a poor family—some scholars suggest they were slaves—in the village of Sarsina in Umbria. As a youth he traveled to Rome, finding employment as a craftsman in the theater. Tradition holds that during his youth Plautus endured the hardships of poverty and suffered a variety of setbacks, such as the loss of money in a business enterprise. He was therefore compelled to work in a mill to earn a living. Sometime in the middle of his life Plautus turned to adapting Greek plays and eventually became the most successful Roman playwright of his time.

Plautus for Kids - the ancient Roman playwright Plautus During the Roman Republic , when the Romans first began to go to plays, there weren't any plays written in Latin , only plays in Greek . Plautus (PLAW-tuss or PLOW-tuss) was one of the first people who wrote plays in Latin for these Roman audiences, in the late 200's BC (about the time of the Second Punic War ). All of the plays he wrote were comedies (funny plays). He lived in Rome. Mostly, Plautus took Greek plays by men like Menander and translated them into Latin. He didn't translate them exactly, word for word, but he took the stories of these Greek plays and wrote them so that they would be funny to Romans. Although Plautus wrote many plays, we don't have all of them written down. Many of them were lost and we don't have copies of them anymore. The twenty-one plays he wrote that have lasted are those that were chosen for kids to study in school (so the kids needed many copies of them). The most famous play Plautus wrote is Amphitryo , about the birth of Hercules Another Roman playwright was Terence , who lived a little later and also wrote comedies.

Titus Maccius Plautus Plautus was born in the early half of the third century BC, in Umbria. He went to Rome at an early age. He began writing plays almost immediately. He combined singing, dance, farce, and the plot styles of Greek New Comedy to make his plots. He relied on stock characters and used the well know plot of boy meets girl . . .something goes wrong . . . outlandish deeds . . .boy gets girl. He especially like to use parasites and a crafty/clever slave to keep his audience entertained. He is often esteemed as Rome's greatest dramatist , for he appealed to the masses in a time when they cared only for entertainment and were indifferent to political issues. His dramatic and musical melodies as well as slapstick behavior was very popular. He died at an advanced age in 184 BC . His type of comedy fell out of favor during the end of the republic and the first century of the Empire. However the archaic revival of the second century of the Empire brought him back into favor causing the preservation of his works through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Thus twenty of his plays are still intact today , and he has influenced many of the great comedic playwrights that have come after him. Not only are many of his stock characters used in the plays of the Commedia del'Arte but also many of
