orig. Publius Terentius Afer born 195, Carthage, North Africa died 159? BC, in Greece or at sea Roman comic dramatist. Born as a slave, he was taken to Rome, where he was educated and later freed. His six extant verse plays are The Woman of Andros, The Mother-in-Law, The Self-Tormentor, The Eunuch, Phormio, and The Brothers. Produced between 166 and 160 BC, they were based on Greek originals (including four by Menander); Terence eliminated their original prologues, used contemporary colloquial Latin, and introduced a measure of realism. He influenced later dramatists such as Molière and William Shakespeare. McQueen Terence Steven Powderly Terence Vincent Rattigan Sir Terence Mervyn White Terence Hanbury
