Publisher Description: Roman playwright Publius Terentius Afer, best known as Terence, was highly regarded in the second century BC for his six comedies, such as Adelphoe, which focused on child-rearing, and Andria, which contained messages about moderation and charity. Due to the fact that Terence s plays often carried a moral lesson, they remained popular into the early modern period, and even Martin Luther suggested the plays be used for instruction in schools. |
