PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Wolfgang de Melo is Professor of Latin and Greek at Ghent University.
"Wolfgang de Melo has established an updated text and rendered Plautus into smooth, pleasantly readable prose for the Loeb Classical Library... De Melo makes the world of Plautinopolis intelligible without becoming too familiar. Footnotes succinctly explain references to Greek and Roman allusions. Sometimes the translation presents a clear modern analogue with the literal meaning footnoted... Several enhancements improve the presentation of the new edition... The overall product is quite impressive.--Fred Franko ""Bryn Mawr Classical Review"""
