Reading The Comedies: Adelphoe, Andria, Eunuchus, Heauton Timorumenos, Hecyra and Phormio | Alexandria
Read The Comedies: Adelphoe, Andria, Eunuchus, Heauton Timorumenos, Hecyra and Phormio by Terence. Upending conventional morality, Terence's comedies pierce social facades through subversive slaves who outsmart their masters, revealing how true wisdom often comes from society's margins. These plays challenge power dynamics, suggesting that authority stems from wit, not status - a radical notion as relevant now as in ancient Rome.
