Miles Gloriosus
The Braggart Captain
Translated by Henry Thomas Riley (1852)
A comedy of Ephesus in which a vainglorious soldier who has carried off an Athenian girl is outwitted by his own slave: a hole in the party wall, a twin sister who does not exist, a pretended wife next door, and a beating for the braggart in the end.
