This book brings together three of the most outstanding works of the Latin comedy writer Titus Maccius Plautus. Plautus' comedies, inspired by the Greek New Comedy, are set in Hellenic environments and scenarios, focusing on everyday and family life. Plautus avoids Latin morality and delights in plot complications, comic situations, eccentric characters and cheerful environments.
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.
