The Captivi of Plautus is a classic play written by the ancient Roman playwright, Plautus. The play is set in Greece and tells the story of two young men, Tyndarus and Philocrates, who are taken captive by a group of soldiers. The soldiers plan to sell them into slavery, but Tyndarus comes up with a plan to save them. He pretends to be a slave himself and convinces the soldiers to sell him to his own father, who is a wealthy merchant. Once they arrive at his father's house, Tyndarus reveals his true identity and frees Philocrates. The play is filled with humor, wit, and clever wordplay, and is considered one of Plautus' most famous works. It explores themes of deception, loyalty, and the power of family bonds. The Captivi of Plautus is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient Greek and Roman literature, as well as for those who enjoy classic plays and comedies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
