Terence's Phormio , based on a Greek original by Apollodorus of
Carystus, was produced towards the end of his short dramatic career
in 161 BC. With its lively action, based on the traditional
elements of love, deception and mistaken identity, the play
provides an ideal introduction to the genre of New Comedy. What
makes the Phormio unique amongst Terence's works is the central
importance of the witty and scheming parasite who gives his name to
the play and directs and controls its action throughout, even when
absent from the stage. The use of the 'double' plot with its two
young men in love and two contrasting fathers provides ample scope
for depth and variety of characterisation. The aim of the present
edition is to bring out to the full Terence's skill in plot
development and character portrayal which was to make the Phormio
one of his most entertaining plays. Latin text with facing-page
translation, introduction and commentary.
