The Comedies

Edited by Terence and Palmer Bovie
Translated by Constance Carrier and Douglas Parker

Johns Hopkins University Press

In English translations that achieve a lively readability without sacrificing the dramatic and comic impact of the original Latin, this volume presents all six comedies: The Girl from Andros (Andria), The Self-Tormentor (Heautontimorumenos), The Eunuch (Eunouchus), Phormios, The Brothers (Adelphoe), and Her Husband's Mother (Hecyra).

About the Authors

Palmer Bovie has published many translations of classical Roman literature, including The Georgics of Virgil, The Satires and Epistles of Horace, Cicero: Nine Orations, Epigrams of Martial, De Rerum Natura of Lucretius, and Terence: The Comedies.

Reviews

"The best Terrence available, indeed the only one that can be recommended to students without apology."

Endorsements

"Terence's comedies sparkle and delight."
