Book Overview

The Phormio of Terence is a play written by the ancient Roman playwright Terence, and this particular edition was translated and annotated by Gordon Jennings Laing in 1908. The play follows the story of a young man named Antipho, who has fallen in love with a woman named Phanium. However, Phanium's father, Demipho, has arranged for her to marry another man, and Antipho must find a way to win her hand. He enlists the help of his friend Phormio, a cunning lawyer, to come up with a plan to outwit Demipho and win Phanium's love. Along the way, there are many twists and turns, as well as a number of comedic moments. Laing's translation and annotations provide readers with a clear understanding of the play's language and cultural context, making it accessible to modern readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
