Die Menaechmi ("Die Menaechmus-Brüder" oder "Der doppelte Menaechmus") sind eine weitere Komödie des Plautus. Zweifelsfrei ist dieses Verwechselungslustpiel ein genialer Höhepunkt im Schaffen der römischen Theaterdichter. Meisterhaft, wie Plautus die Verwechselungsthematik in den Menaechmi bis an ihre allerletzten Möglichkeiten ausreizt und dabei die Lachmuskeln der Zuschauer strapaziert! Das muss sich auch Shakespeare gedacht haben, als er diese plautinische Komödie als Vorlage für ein eigenes Bühnenwerk nahm und von Plautus abkupferte. Ort der Handlung ist nicht Athen, sondern Epidamnos, das heutige Durazzo an der albanischen Adriaküste. Doch ihren Ursprung nimmt die Komödie im sizilianischen Syrakus, das wie Epidamnos eine korinthische Tochterstadt war und daher von Griechen besiedelt wurde. Dort in Syrakus schenkte einst Theusimarche ihrem Gatten Moschus ein Zwillingspaar. Der eine der beiden eineiigen Zwillingsbrüder hieß Menaechmus, der andere Sosicles. Als Menaechmus noch sehr jung war, nahm ihn Vater Moschus mit auf eine Handelsreise. Doch beide kehrten von der langen Schiffreise nicht zurück und galten schließlich als verschollen. Groß war die Trauer im heimatlichen Syrakus! Menaechmus´ Großvater hatte sogar so großen Kummer, dass er dem ihm verbliebenen Enkel Sosicles den Namen Menaechmus verlieh. Der verschollene Menaechmus war nämlich sein Lieblingsenkel gewesen.

Reconsider the mean proportionals x and y of a and 2 a With the help of modern analytic geometry, we see that this is equivalent to solving simultaneously two of x ay y ax , and xy a . You should notice immediately that x ay and y ax are equations of parabolae, and xy a is the equation of a hyperbola. Solving these equations simultaneously is equivalent to intersecting these conics. Taking the second and third equations and solving them simultaneously gives x a , so a cube of side x has double the volume of a cube of side a Was Menaechmus the first to use conic sections? In the same work by Eutocius we have a description of Eratosthenes ' (3rd century B.C.) ( pronunciation ) solution to the problem of finding two mean proportionals. In regards to the merits of his own solutions, Eratosthenes is quoted as saying "Do not seek to do the difficult business of the cylinders of Archytas [another method of solution], or to cut the cone in the triads of Menaechmus, or to produce any such curved form in lines as is described by the divine Eudoxus."

Let a straight line be given to serve as the axis, with a point D on the line to serve as the origin. Construct a parabola with the given axis, with vertex at D , and latus rectum a . This is equivalent to constructing a square on ordinate y equal to the rectangle on the latus rectum with side x . Note that this makes y the geometric mean of the latus rectum and the side x .

THE MENAECHMI or THE TWIN BROTHERS A synopsis of the play by Plautus This document was originally published in Minute History of the Drama There seems to be no record of the time and circumstances of the production of this play during the time of Plautus. Its earliest revival ocurred under the direction of Ercole I, Duke of Ferrara, early in the Middle Ages, probably between 1486 and 1550. MOSCHUS, a merchant of Syracuse, had twin sons who were like as two peas. When the boys were seven years old, Moschus took one of them, Menaechmus, with him on a business trip to Tarentum. There the boy became separated from his father and lost in the crowd. He was found later and adopted by a wealthy merchant of Epidamnus. In this city he grew to manhood and married a rich wife. Meanwhile, so great was the grief of parents and grandparents for the lost boy that the remaining twin whose name was Sosicles was renamed Menaechmus. When the latter reached young manhood he set out with his slave, Messenio, to cover the known world in search of his twin. At the opening of the action, Menaechmus Sosicles and Messenio have just arrived at Epidamnus after six years of wandering. Just prior to their appearance on the street where Menaechmus of Epidamnus lives, the latter has as usual been quarreling with his wife. To spite her he has stolen a rich mantle of hers to give to the courtesan, Erotium. He requests this lady to prepare a feast for himself and his Parasite, Peniculus, while they go to the market place to transact some business.

The Menaechmi Twins A Roman Comedy by Plautus 200 B.C. performed by Mrs. Huffman's 6th Grade Class March 22, 2001 *Art by Beth The Menaechmi Twins by Plautus The Menaechmi Twins is about a pair of identical twin brothers who were separated when they were very young. The mass confusion that arises when their paths cross is the basis for this popular Roman comedy, which was written by the famous Roman playwright Titus Maccius Plautus in about 200 B.C. Plautus was a master of comedy. He had to be, to keep his audience entertained at public festivals where the competition might be chariot races, boxing, or circuses. Over the last 2,200 years, the play has been adapted many times, most notably by William Shakespeare, who adopted the plot for his play, A Comedy of Errors . As you will soon see, The Menaechmi Twins is just as entertaining now as it was when it was written. We hope you enjoy this play.

March, 2001 More pictures and enlargements. The Menaechmi Twins, by Plautus Our play, the Menaechmi Twins, was a great success. I played the character Messenio. There were three scenes, and they were all funny. Scene 1 started off with the narrator introducing the play. Then Menaechmus I steals a dress from his wife and he and Peniculus give it to Lady E, who agrees to make them dinner. While they go downtown, Lady E sends Cylindrian and Andrea downtown to buy food. Then Menaechmus II, Messenio, and Endoria arrive at the city. They meet Cylindria and Andrea in front of Lady E's house, and thinking Menaechmus II is Menaechmus I, Cylindria speaks to him and they get confused. Cylindria and Andrea go in and Lady E comes out causing more confusion, until Menaechmus II decides he wants to eat the dinner and abandons Messenio and Endoria, who go back to their ship. When the dinner is over, Menaechmus II meets Peniculus, who thinks Menaechmus II is Menaechmus I. He gets mad because he didn't get any food, and he goes into Menaechmus I's house. Then Menaechmus II goes to the embroidery shop. Scene 2 starts with the narrator. Then Peniculus and Mrs. Menaechmus come out and Peniculus tells Mrs. Menaechmus all about the dress and the dinner. Then Menaechmus I returns from town and is met by his angry wife and Peniculus, who send him back to the embroidery shop. Then Mrs. Menaechmus goes into the house and Peniculus goes downtown, never to be seen again. Then, Menaechmus I goes to Lady E's house to get the dress back. Lady E thinks he is trying to cheat her and shuts the door. Then Menaechmus I leaves and Menaechmus II arrives with the dress. Menaechmus comes out, and they get in a fight. She sends Decio to get her mother. When her mother gets there, Menaechmus II pretends to be insane.

Galluzzo If their sunburned faces are any indication of the time and effort the players of the Shakespeare Collaborative have been putting into the preparation for their first production at Fort Revere this Sunday, then we should be in for a heck of a show. On Sunday at 3 and 6 p.m. (two shows), Don Sheehan and his small band of actors will present The Brothers Menaechmus, a Greek comedy of mistaken identity. "I play one of the mistakes", said Tim Fitzgerald of Framingham, taking a break from rehearsing the role of Menaechmus of Epidemus this past Sunday. An untrained actor, Fitzgerald has nevertheless been on stage for more than 20 years, exercising his passion. Recently, he has been seen directing with the Hingham Civic Music Theater, Duxbury's Bay Players, and two of his own home troupes, including the Newton Country Players. Yet, in more than two decades of acting, he has never had a part in any Shakespearean or classical play. "It's always been musical comedies or other straight plays. I love to sing. With singing, you have to master breath control," a talent that matches well with outdoors, another first for Fitzgerald this summer.

Not with a whimper The Brothers Menaechmus By Plautus Adapted and directed by Joseph Furnari Westside Repertory Theatre 252 West 81st St. Manhattan (874-7290) Non-union production (closes March 21) Review by Julie Halpern Plautus's comedy of mistaken identity, The Menaechmi, has entertained theatregoers throughout the centuries in a variety of incarnations, including Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, Rodgers and Hart's The Boys From Syracuse, and Sondheim's A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum . Joseph Furnari's recent adaptation welcomed Plautus's Menaechmus Brothers into the millennium in the intimate environment of West Side Rep. The two Menaechmus brothers were separated in infancy back home in Syracuse and are unwittingly reunited as adults with predictably hilarious results. Like a favorite old sitcom, which we have seen a dozen times but laugh at all the same things time after time, the twins' exploits are a permanent fixture in the fabric of the theatre. Furnari employs an interesting blend of dramatic elements from Plautus's time (such as the use of multiple doors and windows), commedia dell' arte and 1930s Hollywood screwball comedy. The only thing amiss was breaking up the prologue among several of the actors who kept popping their heads out of windows like the characters on

Szene nach der Plautus-Komödie "Menaechmi" (709 ff.) Für "kleine" Lateinerinnen und Lateiner im 1. Jahr. In Syrakus (Sizilien) lebte einst ein reicher Kaufmann. Er hatte Zwillingssöhne mit den Namen Menaechmus und Sosicles , die selbst die Mutter kaum auseinanderhalten konnte. Einmal nahm der Vater den Menaechmus mit nach Tarent (Süditalien) auf den Markt. Der Bruder Sosicles blieb daheim. Im Menschengewühl verlor der Vater den Menaechmus aus den Augen. Er suchte ihn lange vergebens und starb dann vor Kummer. Die Trauer in der Familie in Syrakus war groß, als man vom Tod des Vaters und dem Verschwinden des Menaechmus hörte. Um an den verlorenen Zwilling zu erinnern, erhielt nun der Sosicles den Namen Menaechmus. Der echte Menaechmus hatte folgendes erlebt: Ein wohlhabender Kaufmann nahm sich des Jungen an. Als beide den Vater nicht gefunden hatten, nahm er ihn mit nach Epirus (Griechenland) und adoptierte ihn, weil er kinderlos war. Später verheiratete er ihn mit einer jungen Frau und setzte ihn nach seinem Tod als Alleinerben ein. In Syracus trauerte man weiter um den vermissten Sohn bzw. Bruder. So entschloss sich

A Historical Sampler of Comedy by Gerald Jonas There's no arguing about laughter. If someone fails to laugh at a joke, it does no good to explain why it's funny; you can't persuade someone to laugh. And the reverse is equally true. If children (or adults) laugh at a crude or silly joke or at someone else's hapless circumstances, you might make them feel guilty by insisting, as parents often do, "That's not funny!" But this doesn't cancel out their laughter. Even the briefest glance at history teaches the same lesson. While we may not always be amused by what delighted our forebears, we know that what has been preserved in the annals of comedy has passed the only relevant test: Once upon a time it made people laughor at least crack a smile. Recreating that experience after centuries of evolution in language and culture takes some imagination, as the following excerpts from comedy hits of the past demonstrate: The Ancients: Aristophanes, Menander, and Plautus The 18th Century: Goldoni, Voltaire, and Goldsmith The 19th Century: Twain, Wilde The Ancients In Aristophanes' "Lysistrata" produced in Athens in 411 BCE the women of Greece conspire to abstain from sex until their men agree to abstain from war. Roused by the rhetoric of Lysistrata, the women ridicule the bravery of the military establishment that keeps leading their men off to battle:
