Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a play by Roman playwright Terence, first performed in 161 BC. It follows a story of mistaken identity and trickery, as a parasite named Phormio helps a young man marry a penniless girl by tricking her guardian into believing he is her relative and thus legally responsible for her. The play combines stock characters from New Greek Comedy with sharp dialogue and a humorous plot to explore themes of love, family, and the law. Its insights into human nature and the complexities of social relationships remain relevant today and have made it a classic of Latin literature.
