«Mostelaria» is the comedy by Titus Maccius Plautus, published by Ediciones Clásicas in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
Comedy by Plautus set in Athens: a young Athenian squanders his father's estate while he is away and, to hide it, the slave Tranio devises one trick after another. The return of the master Theopropides and the claim of a moneylender further entangle the plot, with misunderstandings and comic situations typical of Latin theater.
Published in 1998, this edition includes the translation by Francisco Torrent. The work belongs to the surviving comedies of Plautus and is also known as «Mostellaria».
For readers interested in classical Roman theater and the origins of the comedy of errors.
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.
