	Terence - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Plautus, though, like Terence, he takes the first sketch of his plots, scenes and characters, from the Attic stage, is yet a true representative of his time, a genuine Italian, writing before the genius of Italy had learned the restraints of Greek art.
		The whole aim of Terence was to present a faithful copy of the life, manners, modes of thought and expression which had been drawn from reality a century before his time by the writers of the New Comedy of Athens.
		Sainte-Beuve calls Terence the bond of union between Roman urbanity and the Atticism of the Greeks, and adds that it was in the r 7th century, when French literature was most truly Attic, that he was most appreciated.

	Publius Terentius Afer ("Terence")
		Terence's dramatic work was of two kinds: fairly close translations of the later Greek comedy writers, especially Menander; and "contaminations" which is the term used in referring to an amalgamation of all or parts of two or more Greek dramas into a Romanized whole.
		Since Plautus and Terence are practically the only Roman dramatists, if one excepts the "closet" dramas of Seneca, it is natural that the work of the two should be rather critically compared.
		"Plautus was the practical playwright; Terence, the elegant literary craftsmen." [1] Plautus was the playwright of the masses; Terence, of the classes.

	Terence (c. 190-158 B.C.)
		Terence (Publius Terentius Afer), probably a native of Carthage, was a slave in the family of a Roman patrician.
		The weakness of Terence lies in his lack of the bolder elements of action.
		From the time of Plautus and Terence it is possible to trace in European drama the same characters, the same plots, the same old themes of a stupid husband outwitted by a young wife, the stingy father fleeced by his rascally sons, or the aged sensualist defrauded of the pleasures he has handsomely paid for.

	TERENCE
		Born in Carthage, Terence was brought to Rome at an early age as a slave where he was educated and eventually freed by his master, the Senator Terentius Lucanus.

		Terence was greatly admired in the Middle Ages in monasteries, etc. His plays were read as models of style, though their content was disapproved.

	Drama: Terence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Terence's plays are notable for including a subplot or secondary action—carefully—and for avoiding the technique of addressing the audience directly.
		Terence's dramatic skills developed considerably from the beginning to the end of his work, contrasting sharply with the repetitive nature of Plautus's work.
		Terence was more than a translator, but he wrote at a time when Romans were interested in emulating the Greeks, and his fidelity to Greek originals was one of his strongest recommendations.

	Malaspina Great Books - Terence (Publius Terentius Afer) (185 BC-159 BC)
		Terence worked to write natural conversational Latin,; and most students who persevere long enough to be able to read him in Latin,; find his style particularly pleasant and direct.
		During the Middle Ages the so-called church Latin was to a great extent the language of poetry, and it was only on the advent of the Renaissance that classical Latin revived and flourished in the writings of the neo-Latinists as it does even today though to a more modest extent.
		On the other hand Plautus and Terence found more numerous imitators, whose works did not degenerate into ribaldry, as is seen from the attempts of Poggio, Beccadelli, Bruni, Fidelfo, etc. These humanistic attempts attained a measure of success in the school drama.

		Terence did not realise that there were different types of waves.

		Terence was so excited about his big day at the beach all he had learned about the surf, that when he got back to his friends at the Australian Museum he asked where he could find out more information about safe surfing.

	Terence and His Plays
		It is commonly said that Scipio, and Lælius assisted the author in his plays; and, indeed, Terence himself increased that suspicion by the little pains he took to refute it.
		Nepos asserts that he had been informed, on good authority, that Lælius, being at his villa, at Puteoli, on a certain first day of March, was requested by his lady to sup sooner than his usual hour, but he entreated her not to interrupt his studies.
		He left a daughter, who was afterward married to a Roman knight; and, according to the best authorities, at the time of his death he was possessed of a house, together with six acres of land, on the Appian way.

	Terence (192-158 B.C.)
		The slaves of Terence are a wonderful study to those who reflect on the story of his life.
		They are always on the side of youth and pleasure, full of umpudence and resource, often with a fidelity to their chosen part, unshaken even by the sound of the whip and the chains which we hear behind all.
		The words of Terence so often quoted may stand as the very essence of his moral teaching: "Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto" -- I am man; and think there is nothing human but claims my sympathies.

	Terence McKenna
		There's a dude out there in Hawaii that has changed a lot of our perspectives with his vision, his love for the planet and Her kids, his ability to articulate that which often escapes our linguistic abilities or conscious thought, who is facing an enormous challenge right now.
		In my mind and meditation I removed the tumour from Terence after caressing his forehead and sending him compassion and care and love and with my phurpa destroyed the attachment that would harm his body and mind...
		I felt others showering Terence with white light and healing caresses, my light was rainbow, issueing from each of my chakras to help him balance his own but focusing most centrally on the sixth chakra, blueish/indigo/purple where the tumour decided to reside.

	414 Roman Comedy II (Terence), Classical Drama and Theatre
		Terence's prologues, however, address the audience directly and discuss, not the plot of the upcoming play the way Greek dramatists often did, but details of the play's production and the workings of Roman theatre.
		Terence's final play production—that is, the last to have been staged during his lifetime as far as we know—was not Adelphoe, however, but a revival of an earlier flop, Hecyra ("The Mother-in-law").
		The thought underlying this play—what indeed runs beneath all of Terence's drama—seems to be that the love of whatever and in whatever form is, at the same time, the finest attribute of humanity and also what makes utter idiots of us all.
