The Andrian, Heautontimoreumenos, and Hecyra of Terence is a collection of three plays written by the ancient Roman playwright Terence. This edition, published in 1836, includes translations of the plays into English by George Colman. The Andrian is a comedy that tells the story of a young man named Pamphilus who falls in love with a woman named Glycerium, but faces obstacles in his pursuit of her due to her status as a courtesan. Heautontimoreumenos, also a comedy, follows the story of a man named Chremes who becomes obsessed with his own problems and ignores the needs of his family and friends. Hecyra, a drama, centers around the character of Pamphilus once again, as he deals with the consequences of his decision to marry a woman named Philumena, who is pregnant with another man’s child. The play explores themes of love, betrayal, and forgiveness. Terence was known for his skill in adapting Greek plays for a Roman audience, and his works were highly influential in the development of Roman comedy. This edition of The Andrian, Heautontimoreumenos, and Hecyra of Terence provides a window into the world of ancient Roman theater and the enduring legacy of one of its most celebrated playwrights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
