Everything about Adelphoe totally explained
Adelphoe, also written
Adelphoi and
Adelphi (
English:
The brothers) is a play by
Terence, a Roman
playwright. It was first performed in
160 BC at the funeral of
Aemilius Paulus.
Adelphoe aroused controversy since Terence added in it a scene from a play by
Diphilus. Conservative writers, since then, objected to the declared freedom with which Terence
used his models, which originated rumors that his plays were not his own work but were
composed with the help of unnamed nobles. This charge is seemingly not plausible, but was left unanswered by Terence.
Terence's
The Brothers is arguably the most interesting of his six surviving comedies, because of the intricacy of his characterization, the complex interplay of characters, and the unresolved debate on the best form of child-rearing.
