The special joy of reading fragmentary texts.

I can understand how the chance recovery of even a line or two of something like this can make a Classicist's heart sing!

DYK many Rome considered same-sex sex among women monstrous? For leading poets, storytellers, & playwrights such as #Juvenal (d.127), Martial (d.103), #Phaedrus (d.50), & #Plautus (d.184BCE), it did not jibe with their ideal for the Roman woman—marriage & motherhood. #lesbian

“non tu scis? quae amanti parcet, eadem sibi parcet parum.
quasi piscis itidem est amator lenae: nequam est nisi recens;
is habet sucum, is suauitatem, eum quovis pacto condias

Just finished this. Amazing how similar The Rope is to Comedy of Errors. You're going to need a very skilled actor to pull belly laughs out of a crowd with it, but the skill is palpable and comparable to Beckett as there seem to be a lot of Godot parallels. #plautus #shakespeare #beckett #books

Auf wie viele Arten kann man jmdn. als schlau & gerissen beschreiben? #Plautus: Ja!
ad eam rem usust hominem astutum, doctum, cautum et callidum... (Pseud. 384)
Für solche Stellen konsultiere ich gern das #Grimm’sche Wörterbuch - da sind die lat. Entsprechungen noch vermerkt.

Nachzulesen in #Plautus’ „Amphitruo“, Verse 153–462.
