Hecyra: The Mother-In-Law by Terence (c.195 BC - 159 BC)
by 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
