About the author

Titus Maccius Plautus (c. 254 – 184 BC), commonly known as Plautus, was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are the earliest works in Latin literature to have survived in their entirety. He wrote Palliata comoedia, the genre devised by the innovator of Latin literature, Livius Andronicus. The word Plautine refers to both Plautus's own works and works similar to or influenced by his.

Reviews

[Illiterate · Rating 3 out of 5]

Plautus does comedy of manners. People misunderstand one another’s good intentions.

[Mike · Rating 1 out of 5]

1.5 stars. A totally forgettable play that is not comic, insightful, or witty. The plot seems like a pale imitation of Mostellaria or the Haunted House, which isn't that great, either. The translator in his introduction tried mightily to curb expectations by claiming the humor is “mild” and shows “restraint.” These are all merely euphemisms for “isn’t very good.”

No se me ha hecho graciosa, y el mensaje moral pues está bien pero no es nada especial (como si lo es los Cautivos, por ejemplo).
