''Heauton Timorumenos'' (''The Self-Tormentor'') is a play written by Publius Terentius Afer, known in English as "Terence", a dramatist of the Roman Republic. The play has presented academics with some problems. Firstly it is not entirely clear whether ''Heauton Timorumenos'' is Terence's second or third play. More importantly, due to the scant survival of Menander's play of the same name, there is no simple way to judge how much Terence's version is translation and how much is invention.〔Lawrence Richardson, Jr., "The Terentian Adaption of the ''Heauton Timorumenos'' of Menander", ''Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies'' 46 (2006), 13–36〕 It is set in a village in the countryside of Attica. == Characters == * Menedemus – an Athenian nobleman, newly moved to the countryside, father of Clinia * Chremes – Menedemus' neighbour, father of Clitipho * Clinia – Menedemus' estranged son, in love with Antiphila * Clitipho – Chremes' son and a friend of Clinia, in love with Bacchis * Syrus – Clitipho's slave * Dromo – Clinia's slave * Antiphila – a girl raised by a weaveress, beloved of Clinia * Bacchis – a wealthy courtesan, beloved of Clitipho * Sostrata – Chremes' wife * Phrygia – Bacchis' slave * Canthara - a nurse, servant of Sostrata 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heauton Timorumenos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
