With regard to. The latter, however, cases must always arise in which it is necessary to follow what seems to be the scribe's general habit; while with regard to the former likewise doubtful points constantly occur. The majuscule form of C is quite distinct from the minuscule and has been retained even, in one case (1. In the middle of a word: on the other hand, the minuscule and majuscule forms of L merge imper ceptibly into one another, and an upper-case letter has only been used where the majuscule form was quite certain. Many speeches and lines of verse begin with minuscules on the other hand, the scribe has a preference for beginning a fresh page with a majus cule form. The letters u and n are indistinguishable.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a lively translation of Plautus' Amphitruo, a comedy first staged in Rome in 186 BC. The play is based on the Greek myth of Zeus seducing Alcmena while her husband, Amphitryon, is away at war. It follows the domestic chaos that ensues when the god impersonates the warrior and claims conjugal bliss as his right. Compounding the domestic intrigue is the doubling of the hero's servant, Sosia: when the mortal Sosia is sent to deliver news of Amphitryon's imminent return, he is confronted by his divine likeness. The author provides a vivid portrayal of this fantastical encounter between mortals and gods, where mistaken identity and misplaced trust upend the established order. By examining the themes of divine authority, marital fidelity, and the nature of heroism, this book opens a window into the values and beliefs of the ancient world.
