		The comic tradition of the soldier as miles gloriosus, however, looms so large that it at times overshadows the turbulence imbedded in such a character.
		Although Menander certainly did know and employ the miles gloriosus type (see, e.g., Kolax frr.2-4), the type of soldier most prevalent in the extant texts of Menander belongs to a tradition, characterization, and representation distinct from that of the gloriosus.
		A number of fragmentary plays feature a soldier central to their plot, in each case a veteran who becomes embroiled in a domestic crisis and struggles to bring the stability of marriage to his household.

		Miles Gloriosus is a much more typical Plautine comedy: a young lover trying to be with the courtesan he loves, and a tricky slave who will arrange the union.
		Another issue raised in Miles Gloriosus is that of marriage and children.
		This contrast suggests to the audience that the best way to conduct one's personal affairs is not by falling in love with courtesans, nor by remaining a bachelor, but by getting married to a respectable woman and having children.

		These five new translations, two by Douglass Parker ("Double Bind" [Menaechmi] and "Wild, Wild Women" [Bacchides]) and three by Deena Berg ("Major Blowhard" [Miles Gloriosus], Brothers, Hecyra), take to its logical, lively conclusion the long-held but oft-ignored reality that Plautus and Terence were writers for the stage.
		To be fair, her choice of plays did not make her job easier, and perhaps surprisingly, her Hecyra is the best of the three.
		In Miles Gloriosus, there is little beyond the well-known first scene (and no canticum at all) in this long play which gives the translator a chance to make a big splash: "...

		The tradition of the soldier as arrogant buffoon, so famous from Plautus’ Miles Gloriosus and its many descendants, looms so large that it at times overshadows another type of soldier traditional in Greek drama, the returning veteran who needs to be reintegrated into urban society as a husband.
		This tradition and its legacy do not mean all soldiers in Menander’s plays take this type of soldier as their starting point or are variations on it.
		The type of soldier most prevalent in the extant texts of Menander belongs to a tradition, characterization, and representation distinct from that of the gloriosus.
