A maxim from this author about how men deal with strangers is the oldest extant source for the Latin saying “homo homini lupus.” A work by this author is the only extant instance of Latin literature preserving text in Carthaginian Punic. This author often compounded words to create neologisms like dentifrangibula (DEN-tee-fran-GEE-boo-lah) for “fists” and Suavisaviatio (SWA-vis-ah-vee-AH-tee-oh) for a love god. This author’s corpus preserves the most uses of unfamiliar (*) Latin forms like the exclamations ecastor (ay-CAST-or) and hercle (HAIR-clay). This author invented character names with Greek etymologies like “Conqueror of Many Towers” for a work based on the alazon (uh-LOZ-doan) trope. This archaic writer gave characters (10[1])names like “Peniculus” and “Pyrgopolynices” (PEER-go-pol-ee-“NICE”-eez). For 10 points, name this (10[1])Roman comic playwright who (-5[1])authored the (0[1])Menaechmi and The Braggart Soldier. ■END■
