This book brings together three works by the Latin playwright Plautus: 'Amphitryon', a comedy that plays with identity and deception; 'Aulularia' (or 'The Pot of Gold'), a funny story about a miser and his pot full of gold; and 'The Captives', a work that explores themes of freedom and redemption. This edition from Alianza Editorial features a careful translation and notes that facilitate the understanding of these classic works of Roman theater.
Titus Maccius Plautus was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are the earliest Latin literary works to have survived in their entirety. He wrote Palliata comoedia, the genre devised by Livius Andronicus, the innovator of Latin literature. The word Plautine refers to both Plautus's own works and works similar to or influenced by his. He influenced some of the greatest figures in literature, including Shakespeare and Molière.
