Eunuchus: The Eunuch by Terence (c.195 BC - 159 BC)
LibriVox
Another of the plays by Terence translated from the Latin by Riley. "A certain citizen of Athens had a daughter named Pamphila, and a son called Chremes. The former was stolen while an infant, and sold to a Rhodian merchant, who having made a present of her to a Courtesan of Rhodes, she brought her up with her own daughter Thais, who was somewhat older." (From Translator summary) Hmmm, so kidnapping and slavery to start off; then there will be eunuchs and rape before the play ends. And it is a comedy?! Ah, well, it was 200BC. Times and opinions (thank goodness) have changed at least a bit since then. - Summary by ToddHWCast list:Laches, an aged Athenian: Jim LockePhædria, his son: Aaron WhiteChærea, his son: Tomas PeterAntipho, a young man, friend of Chærea: <a href="https://librivox.org/re

Hecyra: The Mother-In-Law by Terence (c.195 BC - 159 BC)
LibriVox
Terence's six plays are comedies written while he was a slave to a Roman senator. NOTE: the main plot elements in Hecyra are quite unacceptable today: Pamphilus has just married a woman he does not recognize that he had earlier raped in a drunken fit; nor does she recognize him. His mistress Bacchis is upset with the marriage and rejects him. He then wanders off, returning only in time to discover his wife with a new child that can't possibly be his. It takes both Mother and Mother-in-Law, and Bacchis, to bring a happy ending out of this confusion. - Summary by ToddHWCast list:Laches, an aged Athenian, father of Pamphilus: ToddHWPhidippus, an aged Athenian, father of Philumena: alanmapstonePamphilus, son of Laches: Tomas PeterSosia, servant of Pamphilus: Nemo</a
