March, 2001 More pictures and enlargements. The Menaechmi Twins, by Plautus Our play, the Menaechmi Twins, was a great success. I played the character Messenio. There were three scenes, and they were all funny. Scene 1 started off with the narrator introducing the play. Then Menaechmus I steals a dress from his wife and he and Peniculus give it to Lady E, who agrees to make them dinner. While they go downtown, Lady E sends Cylindrian and Andrea downtown to buy food. Then Menaechmus II, Messenio, and Endoria arrive at the city. They meet Cylindria and Andrea in front of Lady E's house, and thinking Menaechmus II is Menaechmus I, Cylindria speaks to him and they get confused. Cylindria and Andrea go in and Lady E comes out causing more confusion, until Menaechmus II decides he wants to eat the dinner and abandons Messenio and Endoria, who go back to their ship. When the dinner is over, Menaechmus II meets Peniculus, who thinks Menaechmus II is Menaechmus I. He gets mad because he didn't get any food, and he goes into Menaechmus I's house. Then Menaechmus II goes to the embroidery shop. Scene 2 starts with the narrator. Then Peniculus and Mrs. Menaechmus come out and Peniculus tells Mrs. Menaechmus all about the dress and the dinner. Then Menaechmus I returns from town and is met by his angry wife and Peniculus, who send him back to the embroidery shop. Then Mrs. Menaechmus goes into the house and Peniculus goes downtown, never to be seen again. Then, Menaechmus I goes to Lady E's house to get the dress back. Lady E thinks he is trying to cheat her and shuts the door. Then Menaechmus I leaves and Menaechmus II arrives with the dress. Menaechmus comes out, and they get in a fight. She sends Decio to get her mother. When her mother gets there, Menaechmus II pretends to be insane.

A ROYAL ROAD, AFTER ALL During the 4th century B.C., Greek geometry burst its bonds and went on to the tremendous discoveries of the "age of giants." And Greek culture, too, burst from the mainland of Hellas and spread to most of the eastern Mediterranean. Both developments were connected with the romantic figure of Alexander the Great. After Plato's time, teachers and alumni from the Academy had gone on to found schools of their own. In particular, Plato's most famous associate, the great philosopher Aristotle, had set up the Lyceum in Athens, and started the systematic classification of human knowledge. And Aristotle's most renowned pupil was the warrior king Alexander of Macedon, who tried to conquer the world. In thirteen years, Alexander extended his rule over Greece proper, and Ionia, Phoenicia, Egypt, and the vast Persian domains as far as India. Then he died, and his empire broke up. But throughout those far-flung lands, he had founded Greek cities and planted the seeds of Greek civilization-the Greek language, Greek art, and, of course, Greek mathematics. Mathematicians traveled with his armies. And there is even a

The deliberations invite conclusion that the Eudoxean solution of the problem of finding the mean proportionals must have been the same as that traditionally called the Menaechmean. Perhaps Eudoxus provided a two-parabola solution and Menaechmus subsequently one by means of either parabola and the hyperbola. From the account of Menaechmus's solution in Eutocius's anthology of the cube duplication we form the opinion that Menaechmus definitely employed the intersection of a parabola and a hyperbola.

Neugebauer suggested that the origin of the conic sections, according to this particular formulation, lay in the

There is another reference in the Suda Lexicon (a work of a 10 th century Greek lexicographer) which states that Menaechmus was (see for example [1]):- ... a Platonic philosopher of Alopeconnesus, or according to some of Proconnesus, who wrote works of philosophy and three books on Plato 's Republic... Alopeconnesus and Proconnesus are quite close, the first in Thrace and the second in the sea of Marmara, and both are not far from Cyzicus where Menaechmus's teacher Eudoxus worked. The dates for Menaechmus are consistent with his being a pupil of Eudoxus but also they are consistent with an anecdote told by Stobaeus writing in the 5 th century AD. Stobaeus tells the rather familiar story which has also been told of other mathematicians such as

There is a certain type of mathematician who is always rather impatient at delaying over the ideas of a subject : he is anxious at once to get on to the proofs of " important " problems. The history of the science is entirely against him. There are royal roads in science ; but those who first tread them are men of genius and not kings. (1) The plane may cut the cone in a closed oval curve, such as ABA'B' which lies entirely on one of the two half-cones. In this case the plane will not meet the other halfcone at all. Such a curve is called an ellipse ; it is an oval curve. A particular case of such a section of the cone is when the plane is perpendicular to the axis CVC', then the section, such as STU or PQR, is a circle. Hence a circle is a particular case of the ellipse.

CONIC SECTION CONIC SECTION The definitions given above reflect the intimate association of these curves, but it frequently happens that a particular conic is defined by some special property (as the ellipse, which is the locus of a point such that the sum of its distances from two~ fixed points is constant); such definitions and other special properties are treated in the articles ELLIPSE, HYPERBOLA and PARABOLA. In this article we shall consider the historical development of the geometry of conics, and refer the reader to the article GEOMETRY: Analytical and Projective, for the special methods of investigation. But the greatest Greek writer on the conic sections was Apollonius of Perga, and it is to his Conic Sections that we are indebted for a review of the early history of this subject. Of the eight books which made up his original treatise, only seven are certainly known, the first fouI in the original Greek, the next three are found in Arabic translations, and the eighth was restored by Edmund Halley in 1710 from certain introductory lemmas of Pappus. The first four books, of which the first three are dedicated to Eudemus, a pupil of Aristotle and author of the original Eudemian Summary, contain little that is original, and are principally based on the earlier works of Menaechmus, Aristaeus (probably a senior contemporary of Euclid, flourishing about a century later than Menaechmus),Euclid and Archimedes. The remaining books are strikingly original and are to~be regarded as embracing Apolloniuss own researches.

Archimedes of Syracuse Introduction: the greatest of Greek mathematicians In the third century BCE, Rome was involved in a series of military conflicts (the Punic Wars) with the Greek city-state of Carthage , situated across the Mediterranean Sea on the African coast . Caught in the middle of these conflicts was Syracuse, another city-state on the coast of Sicily, which was claimed by both sides. Initially allied with Carthage against Rome at the outset of the First Punic War in 263 BCE, Syracuse soon switched allegiance. The King of Syracuse, Hiero II , managed to keep war at bay by honoring this treaty with Rome, but the situation became precarious in the later years of the century as the Carthaginian general Hannibal was gaining the upper hand in Spain and Italy against poorly managed Roman armies. Archimedes (287 - 212 BCE), son of Phidias, an astronomer, was thought to have been a kinsman of Hiero. In his youth, Archimedes ventured to Alexandria in Egypt to avail himself of the best education to be found in the Greek world. There he would have been able to study the texts at the great Library of Alexandria, where Euclid had worked, and he made friendships with other philosopher-mathematicians, most notably Conon of Samos with whom he corresponded for many years. Archimedes eventually returned to Syracuse, where he earned fame as an "engineering consultant" to the king, inventing many clever devices for the military defense of the city: catapults, grappling hooks, and improvements to the architecture of the city walls.

Apollonius of Perga Introduction: a unified theory of conics The only major work of Greek geometry to survive in written form that studies the conic sections in detail is the Conics of Apollonius of Perga (262? - 190?BCE). Even so, it survives only partially. We have at present only the first seven of the eight books that Apollonius wrote. As we have seen, the conics were used by Menaechmus in dealing with the problem of the duplication of the cube in around 350BC, and we have references in other works to treatises on the conics written by Aristaeus , a contemporary of Menaechmus, and by Euclid, but these are now lost. In any event, the work by Apollonius was extremely well-received by geometers of the ancient world, so much so that it seems to have displaced all other writings in the subject. As Carl Boyer, a noted historian of mathematics, puts it, "If survival is a measure of quality, the Elements of Euclid and the Conics of Apollonius were clearly the best works in their field." About Apollonius we know very little. He was born in

53. Conic Sections In Ancient Greece menaechmus is credited with the discovery of conic sections around the years Now that we have seen how menaechmus first applied the conic sections, http://www.math.rutgers.edu/~cherlin/History/Papers1999/schmarge.html

Conic Sections in Ancient Greece Ken Schmarge History of Mathematics Term Paper, Spring 1999 Introduction The knowledge of conic sections can be traced back to Ancient Greece. Menaechmus is credited with the discovery of conic sections around the years 360-350 B.C.; it is reported that he used them in his two solutions to the problem of "doubling the cube". Following the work of Menaechmus, these curves were investigated by Aristaeus and of Euclid. The next major contribution to the growth of conic section theory was made by the great Archimedes. Though he obtained many theorems concerning the conics, it does not appear that he published any work devoted solely to them. Apollonius, on the other hand, is known as the "Great Geometer" on the basis of his text Conic Sections , an eight-"book" (or in modern terms, "chapter") series on the subject. The first four books have come down to us in the original Ancient Greek, but books V-VII are known only from an Arabic translation, while the eighth book has been lost entirely. In the years following Apollonius the Greek geometric tradition started to decline, though there were developments in astronomy, trigonometry, and algebra (Eves, 1990, p. 182). Pappus, who lived about 300 A.D., furthered the study of conic sections somewhat in minor ways. After Pappus, however, conic sections were nearly forgotten for 12 centuries. It was not until the sixteenth century, in part as a consequence of the invention of printing and the resulting dissemination of Apollonius' work, that any significant progress in the theory or applications of conic sections occurred; but when it did occur, in the work of Kepler, it was as part of one of the major advances in the history of science.

Reviewed by Ariana Traill, University of Colorado at Boulder Word count: 4252 words concessum est in palliata poetis comicis servos dominis sapentiores fingere, quod idem in togata non fere licet Donatus, ad Eun Readers since Donatus have puzzled over the cleverness of the comic slave. Next to an often dim-witted master, the clever slave appears to subvert a relationship of dominance. This has been explained in various ways, most famously by E. Segal, who popularized the idea that comedy offered a period of Saturnalian license, a temporary release for slaves and sons in potestate and a mechanism for the powerful to keep the lower orders in line. In a stimulating new study, Kathleen McCarthy uses detailed analyses of four plays, Menaechmi Casina Persa , and Captivi , to go beyond Segal's "safety-valve" theory and attempt to explain what stake the rich, powerful Romans who funded these plays had in actually watching them and why, more generally, the slave-owners who made up most of the audience enjoyed a form that presented them in an unflattering light. McCarthy offers an answer based on an insight into the psychology of slave-owning: Roman masters themselves felt a need for release, both from the labor of domination and from their own anxieties as "subordinates" in the larger hierarchies of Roman society. The first of these pressures may be universal to slave-owning societies (McCarthy draws on comparative evidence ranging from the East African plantation system to the New World), a consequence of the famous "contradiction of slavery", that is, the notion that the ideal slave should be both an "object", an absolutely obedient instrument of the master's will, and a thinking "subject", able to follow the intent and not just the letter of the command (McCarthy's discussion of the

Frauenfelder, North Carolina State University Word count: 1770 words These five new translations, two by Douglass Parker ("Double Bind" [ Menaechmi ] and "Wild, Wild Women" [ Bacchides ]) and three by Deena Berg ("Major Blowhard" [ Miles Gloriosus Brothers, Hecyra ), take to its logical, lively conclusion the long-held but oft-ignored reality that Plautus and Terence were writers for the stage. These versions have verve: playability, liveliness, accessibility, unlike anything on library shelves today. Of modern-day attempts at Plautus-inspired music, for example, only Stephen Sondheim has excelled the inspired zaniness of Douglass Parker's lyrics. There is much virtue to be measured here, a few misfires to be counted, and plenteous food for thought, not least in the authors' ability to make an important and wickedly difficult job look like an enjoyable romp. Act I of the translator's task opens for Berg and Parker with a crux: are they playing to a popular, near Latinless audience ("those not exactly clubby in Latin" [x]), or to the scholarly reader, who will see lack of rigor, even inauthenticity in exuberant translations and a breezy, generalist tone? Both kinds, it seems, though the authors try hard to concentrate on the popular, with uneven success.
