Adelphi: or, The Brothers

"Adelphi: or, The Brothers" by Terence tells the story of two brothers, Micio and Demea, who have different lifestyles. Micio lives in Athens and is single, while Demea is married and lives in the countryside. The play takes a dramatic turn with debauchery and theft of a slave, leading to a general sense of chaos. However, the play ends with a serious warning from Demea, advising his relatives to not squander their resources in riotous living but to bear their responsibilities. This classic play is a tale of different lifestyles and the consequences of one's actions.
