The Adelphoe (The Brothers) of Terence is a Latin adaptation of a comedy of the same name by the Greek comic playwright Menander. The theme of the play is the perennially interesting question of the relationship between the generations and the proper way to bring up a son. In the introduction Mr Martin considers Terence in the context of Roman comedy generally and discusses the background of the Adelphoe. There is also a section on metre and scansion and a short analysis of the textual tradition. The full and detailed commentary, besides elucidating the text, seeks at all times to help the reader to understand the work as a play to be enjoyed. The edition is intended for use by students at school and university and for anyone wishing to read and appreciate the play in the original.

A play for those who enjoy Roman theater,
By A Customer
This review is from: Terence: Adelphoe (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics) (English and Latin Edition) (Paperback)
The commentary is very helpful as it explains words that may have different meanings in Latin prose. It also explains how the grammar is evolving at that point in Roman history. It is the best play that Terence has ever written and it is definitely worth reading it in the original language.
