location: home season :: The Brothers Menaechmus: season The Seagull tickets news ... media Design: Ryan Anderson The Brothers Menaechmus by Plautus Directed by David Whiteley May 1 - 10 at Arts Court Theatre Our final show of the season completes the triad of murder, misery and mistaken identity with a classic Roman comedy. 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.

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.

Home Ancient Greek Scientists AGRICULTURALISTS ARCHITECTS ... PHYSICISTS MATHEMATICIAN MENAECHMCUS OF THRACE (fl. 375 - 323 BC) Life Menaechmus was born in Alopeconnisus, in Thrace. He was a disciple of Eudoxus, a friend of Plato, brother of the famous geometer Deinostratus, and an early tutor of Alexander the Great. Menaechmus paved the way for the work of Eratosthenes. He wrote a number of treatises that have not survived, except in small fragments preserved by Eutocius; some information about his work may also be gleaned from other writers. He is cited by Eutocius and Proclus. Work Menaechmus was the first to describe and study conic sections (the ellipse, the parabola and the hyperbola): these are the curves that result from plane intersections of a cone (the "triad", or three conic sections, of Menaechmus). He studied the problem of the duplication of the cube, and proved that the point demanded is a function of the intersection of two parabolas or of a parabola and a hyperbola. Menaechmus was the first to solve equations in the third degree. He also worked on problems of astronomy, and further developed Eudoxus' theory of concentric circles. His work on conic sections was subsumed into Euclid's "Conics", which is lost. He defined the meaning of the term 'element' in geometry, and debated with Speusippus on the relative compass of the terms "theorem" and "problem".

The comedies printed here show him at his best, and Professor Segal's translations keep their fast, rollicking pace intact, making these the most readable and actable versions available. His introduction considers Plautus's place in ancient comedy, examines his continuing influence, and celebrates his power to entertain.

To "Crossing the Stages" Home Page Crossing the Stages: The Production, Performance and Reception of Ancient Theater Timothy Moore Department of Classics The University of Texas at Austin Facing the Music: Musical Accompaniment and the Performance of Roman Comedy Many basic questions about the musical element of Roman comedy remain unsolved, and, probably, unsolvable. Many scholars, however, have accepted the theory of Friedrich Ritschl regarding the basic distinction between diverbia and cantica: diverbia were passages in iambic senarii, during which the tibicen did not play; cantica were passages in all other meters, which were accompanied by the tibiae. Ritschl's distinction between diverbium and canticum is of great significance, for it means that we can tell from the text which passages were and were not accompanied. In this paper I will consider the implications of Ritschl's theory for the interpretation of Roman comedy, and I will propose that in performing Roman comedies today, we can recreate at least part of the effect intended by Plautus and Terence if we follow their metrical cues for accompaniment. Many factors, including tradition, tone and emotion, plot, and structure, helped to determine which passages were or were not accompanied in Roman comedy. In most plays of Plautus and some of Terence, however, the most significant factor governing accompaniment was contrast between characters: certain character types tended to be accompanied, while others usually spoke without accompaniment; and patterns of accompaniment helped determine which characters spectators found most sympathetic. Musical contrast between characters is especially evident in Plautus'

The Madness of Syracusan Antipholus Robert Viking O'Brien California State University, Chico robert_obrien@macgate.csuchico.edu O'Brien, Robert Viking. "The Madness of Syracusan Antipholus." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/02-1/obrishak.html Many readers of The Comedy of Errors notice that Egeon's possible execution provides a dark frame around what appears to be one of Shakespeare's most light-hearted comedies. Yet the threat of death that hangs over Egeon in the frame plot also hangs, in the main plot, over his Syracusan son. This threat results from Antipholus' Syracusan origins, of course, but alsoless obviously and more significantlyfrom the possibility that Syracusan Antipholus is losing his mind. The Elizabethans believed that, without correction, insanity usually led to death; for Shakespeare's audience, the deaths of Lear and Ophelia probably seemed inevitable as soon as the characters went mad. I shall argue in this essay that, in The Comedy of Errors , Shakespeare uses the possibility that Syracusan Antipholus is genuinely threatened by madness, and therefore death, to manipulate his audience's anxieties. I shall also show how, despite the play's dependence on a classical source, Syracusan Antipholus' descriptions of his "transformed" mind draw on specific, Elizabethan ideas about both supernatural and natural causes of madness.

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
