BECK index Plautus, Terence, and Cicero This chapter is part of the book ANCIENT WISDOM AND FOLLY, which has now been published. For information on ordering click here. Plautus The Menaechmi ... Cicero on Ethics Roman culture originated out of Etruscan rituals and religion and was influenced greatly by the Greeks. Livy described how Etruscan dance and music were introduced in Rome during a plague in 364 BC to appease the gods. Histrionic gestures were developed into dialogs with plots adapted from Greek tragedies and comedies by a Greek slave named Livius Andronicus by 240 BC. Andronicus translated Homer's Odyssey into Latin, and it was used in schools for generations. Short Oscan plays from Campania using mime called fabula Atellana were based on the characters of the stupid clown Maccus, the bragging glutton Bucco, the foolish old Pappus, and the hunchback trickster Dossennus. In the late third century BC Gnaeus Naevius wrote an epic on the first Punic war , a few tragedies about the Trojan war, and dozens of comedies based on Greek plays as well as one play about Romulus and Remus and one about the victory by consul Marcellus over the Insubrian Gauls in 222 BC; the plays of Naevius were so critical of political figures that he was imprisoned and went into exile. Greek tragedies were also adapted by Quintius Ennius (239-169 BC), Marcus Pacuvius (c. 220-c. 130 BC), and Lucius Accius (170-c. 86 BC), and Greek comedies were translated by the freed Insubrian slave Caecilius Statius (c. 219-c. 166 BC), but these are all lost.

A Historical Sampler of Comedy by Gerald Jonas There's no arguing about laughter. If someone fails to laugh at a joke, it does no good to explain why it's funny; you can't persuade someone to laugh. And the reverse is equally true. If children (or adults) laugh at a crude or silly joke or at someone else's hapless circumstances, you might make them feel guilty by insisting, as parents often do, "That's not funny!" But this doesn't cancel out their laughter. Even the briefest glance at history teaches the same lesson. While we may not always be amused by what delighted our forebears, we know that what has been preserved in the annals of comedy has passed the only relevant test: Once upon a time it made people laughor at least crack a smile. Recreating that experience after centuries of evolution in language and culture takes some imagination, as the following excerpts from comedy hits of the past demonstrate: The Ancients: Aristophanes, Menander, and Plautus The 18th Century: Goldoni, Voltaire, and Goldsmith The 19th Century: Twain, Wilde The Ancients In Aristophanes' "Lysistrata" produced in Athens in 411 BCE the women of Greece conspire to abstain from sex until their men agree to abstain from war. Roused by the rhetoric of Lysistrata, the women ridicule the bravery of the military establishment that keeps leading their men off to battle:

THE MENAECHMI or THE TWIN BROTHERS A synopsis of the play by Plautus This document was originally published in Minute History of the Drama There seems to be no record of the time and circumstances of the production of this play during the time of Plautus. Its earliest revival ocurred under the direction of Ercole I, Duke of Ferrara, early in the Middle Ages, probably between 1486 and 1550. MOSCHUS, a merchant of Syracuse, had twin sons who were like as two peas. When the boys were seven years old, Moschus took one of them, Menaechmus, with him on a business trip to Tarentum. There the boy became separated from his father and lost in the crowd. He was found later and adopted by a wealthy merchant of Epidamnus. In this city he grew to manhood and married a rich wife. Meanwhile, so great was the grief of parents and grandparents for the lost boy that the remaining twin whose name was Sosicles was renamed Menaechmus. When the latter reached young manhood he set out with his slave, Messenio, to cover the known world in search of his twin. At the opening of the action, Menaechmus Sosicles and Messenio have just arrived at Epidamnus after six years of wandering. Just prior to their appearance on the street where Menaechmus of Epidamnus lives, the latter has as usual been quarreling with his wife. To spite her he has stolen a rich mantle of hers to give to the courtesan, Erotium. He requests this lady to prepare a feast for himself and his Parasite, Peniculus, while they go to the market place to transact some business.

CONIC SECTION CONIC SECTION The definitions given above reflect the intimate association of these curves, but it frequently happens that a particular conic is defined by some special property (as the ellipse, which is the locus of a point such that the sum of its distances from two~ fixed points is constant); such definitions and other special properties are treated in the articles ELLIPSE, HYPERBOLA and PARABOLA. In this article we shall consider the historical development of the geometry of conics, and refer the reader to the article GEOMETRY: Analytical and Projective, for the special methods of investigation. But the greatest Greek writer on the conic sections was Apollonius of Perga, and it is to his Conic Sections that we are indebted for a review of the early history of this subject. Of the eight books which made up his original treatise, only seven are certainly known, the first fouI in the original Greek, the next three are found in Arabic translations, and the eighth was restored by Edmund Halley in 1710 from certain introductory lemmas of Pappus. The first four books, of which the first three are dedicated to Eudemus, a pupil of Aristotle and author of the original Eudemian Summary, contain little that is original, and are principally based on the earlier works of Menaechmus, Aristaeus (probably a senior contemporary of Euclid, flourishing about a century later than Menaechmus),Euclid and Archimedes. The remaining books are strikingly original and are to~be regarded as embracing Apolloniuss own researches.

Branch of Science Mathematicians Nationality Greek Menaechmus (ca. 380 BC-?) Greek mathematician and geometer said to have been the tutor of Alexander the Great. When his pupil asked him for a shortcut to geometry, he replied "O King, for traveling over the country, there are royal road to geometry and roads for common citizens, but in geometry there is one road for all" (Beckmann 1989, p. 34). However, this quote has also been attributed to the tutor of Napoleon Bonaparte. Additional biographies: MacTutor (St. Andrews) References Beckmann, P. A History of Pi, 3rd ed.

HUMANITIES I: GST 201-B Rome: Theatre: The Menaechmi Titus Maccius Plautus c.254-184 BC Sometime around 254 B.C., in the tiny mountain village of Sarsina high in the Apennines of Umbria, ancient Rome's best-known playwright was bornTitus Maccius Plautus. Born "Plautus" or "splay-foot", he apparently managed to escape his backwoods village at a young ageperhaps by joining one of the itinerant theatrical troupes which commonly traveled from village to village performing short boisterous farces. We know, however, that at some point the young Plautus gave up his acting career to become a Roman soldier, and this is probably when he was exposed to the delights of the Greek stage, specifically Greek New Comedy and the plays of Menander. Sometime later, he tried his hand as a merchant, but rashly trusted his wares to the sea and at the age of 45, he found himself penniless and reduced to a wandering miller, trudging through the streets with a hand-mill, grinding corn for householders. Meanwhile, translations of Greek New Comedy had come into vogue and Plautuswho remembered the comedies of Menander from his days as a soldier in Southern Italydecided to try his hand at writing for the stage. His earliest plays, Addictus and Saturio, were written while he still made a living with his hand-mill. Soon, however, his comedies began to suit the public taste and Plautus was able to retire his hand-mill and devote himself to writing full-time.

A ROYAL ROAD, AFTER ALL During the 4th century B.C., Greek geometry burst its bonds and went on to the tremendous discoveries of the "age of giants." And Greek culture, too, burst from the mainland of Hellas and spread to most of the eastern Mediterranean. Both developments were connected with the romantic figure of Alexander the Great. After Plato's time, teachers and alumni from the Academy had gone on to found schools of their own. In particular, Plato's most famous associate, the great philosopher Aristotle, had set up the Lyceum in Athens, and started the systematic classification of human knowledge. And Aristotle's most renowned pupil was the warrior king Alexander of Macedon, who tried to conquer the world. In thirteen years, Alexander extended his rule over Greece proper, and Ionia, Phoenicia, Egypt, and the vast Persian domains as far as India. Then he died, and his empire broke up. But throughout those far-flung lands, he had founded Greek cities and planted the seeds of Greek civilization-the Greek language, Greek art, and, of course, Greek mathematics. Mathematicians traveled with his armies. And there is even a

Written by Titus Maccius Plautus, a Roman clown actor and comedian of the day, The Brothers Menaechmus tells the story of two twin brothers, separated at birth, who unknowingly cross paths later in life. Filled with characters of loose morals and flim-flam artists, Brothers was actually a thinly veiled critique of Roman society, a society that immensely disliked being critcized. However, much like the fool was the only one who could tell the truth about the Emperor's new clothes, Plautus was able to get away with such criticism by couching it within the medium of theatre. The Brothers Menaechmus went on to become the basis for William Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors . The original, however, is much more simple and farcical than the Shakespearean comedy and is lighter in tone.

See for example EIR April 12, 2002 and May 3, 2002 When the Delians, circa 370 B.C., suffering the ravages of a plague, were directed by an oracle to increase the size of their temple's altar, Plato admonished them to disregard all magical interpretations of the oracle's demand and concentrate on solving the problem of doubling the cube. This is one of the earliest accounts of the significance of pedagogical, or spiritual, exercises for economics. Some crises, such as the one currently facing humanity, require a degree of concentration on paradoxes that outlasts one human lifetime. Fortunately, mankind is endowed with what LaRouche has called, ``super-genes,'' which provide the individual the capacity for higher powers of concentration, by bringing the efforts of generations past into the present.
