«Epídico» is a comedy by Tito Maccio Plauto, published by Ediciones Clásicas in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
In this comedy, a cunning and ingenious slave repeatedly deceives his master, a kind and gullible old man. The servant's ability to devise tricks knows no bounds, and each new deception shows that cunning prevails over naivety. A plot of misunderstandings typical of classical theater.
The 1995 edition includes the version by Juan Luis Arcaz Pozo and Antonio López Fonseca, with a translation of the original «Epidicus».
A work suitable for students of classical literature and fans of ancient Roman theater.
Titus Maccius Plautus was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are the earliest Latin literary works to have survived in their entirety. He wrote Palliata comoedia, the genre devised by Livius Andronicus, the innovator of Latin literature. The word Plautine refers to both Plautus's own works and works similar to or influenced by his. He influenced some of the greatest figures in literature, including Shakespeare and Molière.
