«Things unhoped-for come more often than things hoped.» (from The Haunted House/Mostellaria, trans. Erich Segal) ~ #CurrentlyReading 🤣🍾🏛💸 Four Comedies by #Plautus, an Ancient Roman playwright. The plays included in this selection by Oxford University Press are: The Braggart Soldier (Miles Gloriosus); The Brothers Menaechmus (Menaechmi); The Haunted House (Mostellaria) and The Pot of Gold (Aulularia). So far I've read the first three, and I can say I enjoyed them more than I did Ancient Greek Aristophanes' comedies. ~ #comedy #fourcomedies #TheBraggartSoldier #TheBrothersMenaechmus #TheHauntedHouse #Aulularia #Menaechmi #Mostellaria #MilesGloriosus #ThePotOfGold #AncientRome #books #bookstagram #currentread #bookish #instabook #instaread #bookworm
