Hroswitha's Paphnutius takes much characterization and some plot details from one of this man's plays. The maid Dorias exclaims "The Major's lost his mind; he's liable to start a riot" in this man's The Eunuch, which commanded a greater amount of money than any other play to that point. Charinus loves the betrothed of Pamphilus, who is unknowingly in love with that woman's sister, in his first play, Andria, which supposedly impressed Caecilius so much that he stopped eating to read it aloud. Most of his six extant plays are based on the work of Menander, and unlike with his best-known contemporary, are set in Greece. Writing for a more highbrow audience than Plautus, for ten points, name this Roman playwright who shares his name with the addressee of a Housman poem.
