'In his preface the author claims for his book that it will fill a long-felt gap in our understanding of Greek society by providing a thorough study of the family. The book entirely justifies this claim (…). Lacey also in his preface declares his wise decision to make little use of evidence from the tragic poets on the ground that 'Athenian audiences did not suppose that figures on the tragic stage were normal human beings living in normal family circumstances'.'

LEFÈVRE, E., Plautus' Aulularia. Narr Verlag, Tübingen, 2001. 227p. Hard bound. With editor's dedication on free endpaper. Series: ScriptOralia, 122.Plautus' Aulularia ist eine der bekanntesten Komödien der römischen Antike. Sie verdankt ihre Beliebtheit der beeindruckenden Zeichnung der Hauptfigur Euclio, der durch den plötzlichen Fund eines Schatzes sein inneres Gleichgewicht verliert und zu einem ungewollt komischen Sonderling mutiert. Die Untersuchung unternimmt es, das verlorene griechische Original zu rekonstruieren sowie aus der reichen Rezeption Rückschlüsse auf das Verständnis des plautinischen Stücks zu ziehen.
