It has all the characteristics that make Plautus a perennial favorite among readers of Latin: archetypal characters such as the braggart warrior and the greedy parasite, a seminal plot based on greed and deception, and the powerful, inventive verbal style that for two thousand years has been the playwright's chief claim to critical attention. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e For all those reasons, the \u003ci\u003eCurculio\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent introduction to an important and appealing ancient writer. In the revision of the American Philological Association edition, the introduction and notes have been expanded and a vocabulary has been added. Because it retains the standard scholarly Latin text, it will be useful even to advanced readers of Plautus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46893539623063,"sku":"9780806125077","price":2300.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780806125077.webp?v=1770317043","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/plautus-curculio-volume-17-9780806125077","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
