Unit 4: Plautus |
>> |
|
|
|
|
Unit Four takes us to Rome, and Plautus (c. 254 -
184 BCE), whose modus operandi was to translate into Latin the plays of New Comedians such as Menander
or was it?
Students will consider the survival of Greek comedy on the
Roman stage, as well as understand how these plays address the
society of Rome itself. |
