One of this man's play was the model for Charles Sedley's Restoration drama Bellamira. In one of this author's plays, a man encourages his ward to marry by tearing down the wall separating his house from that of his girlfriend. In another of this author's plays, a man recalls getting drunk and using the pseudonym Stilpho in order to start a secret family in Lemnos away from his Athenian wife Nausistrata, before being undone by the titular lawyer. Another of his works is named for the disguise taken by sixteen-year-old Chaerea in order to rape Pamphila, the sister of the prostitute-protagonist Thais. All six of his extant plays were later rewritten on Christian themes by Hroswitha. For 10 points, name this author of The Self-Tormentor and The Eunuch, a Carthaginian-born slave who became a noted Roman playwright of the second century BCE and shares his name with a character who is told "Mithridates, he died old" and "you eat your victuals fast enough" in a poem that informs him of some "stupid stuff" by A.E. Housman.
