Emphasising his drama’s representational, and pedagogical authority, I contend Terence’s depiction of perception, sensation, and experience had the capacity both to respond to and – more importantly – to reshape its (transtemporal) audiences’ conceptions of self and cosmos. Think (dis)embodiment, (dis)entanglement, (im)materiality. Other interests include the Athenian tragedian Melanthios, anecdote, and literary theory.
