Terence, the tradition and the establishment of author
Keywords:
palliata comedy, poetics, tradition, Terence, Terencian prologuesAbstract
We could infer a certain “poetics” and, principally, the tradition of palliata comedy as defined by Terence (whose resources and authors he would try to emulate), from some considerations of the playwright, carried out in the prologues of his comedies on the composition of a palliata, the difficulties for his engagement on a theatrical carrier during Republican age at Rome, and his establishment as a successor of a tradition of authors which he lists himself.
