Mostellaria, or “The Haunted House, ” is one of the best-known and most entertaining comedies by Titus Maccius Plautus, the celebrated Roman playwright. Written in Latin, the play revolves around the trickery and mishaps that ensue when a young man, Philolaches, squanders his fatherâ€(TM)s money while the latter is away. Upon learning of his father's impending return, Philolaches and his slave Tranio desperately attempt to conceal their wild escapades by convincing the father that the house is haunted. Filled with clever wordplay, mistaken identities, and farcical situations, Mostellaria provides a vibrant glimpse into Roman society and humor. This edition offers readers the opportunity to engage with Plautus's timeless wit and comedic genius, making it a valuable resource for students of Latin literature and enthusiasts of classical drama.
