Terence's Andrian, a comedy, in five acts

by Terence

With contributions by Suetonius · Translated by W. R. Goodluck, Jr.

"Terence's Andrian, a comedy, in five acts: Translated into English prose" by Terence is a Roman comedy first performed in 166 BC. When Pamphilus secretly impregnates Glycerium, a woman of supposedly low birth, his father arranges a marriage to another man's daughter. Through schemes, counter-schemes, and the clever manipulations of a slave named Davus, the situation spirals into chaos. Three men face conflicting promises and desires until a stranger's unexpected arrival reveals a hidden truth that could change everything—if anyone survives the resulting complications first.
