#publius terence afer

[melimelomoi-blog]

Telling to myself "it's none of my business" doesn't work for me. I'm curious about everything, I'm a nosy bitch, I want to know all of it, no details left unsaid. I'm human, I consider nothing human alien to me.

Publius Terentius Afer (Terence): Disposition of women

“I know the disposition of women: when you will, they won’t; when you won’t, they set their hearts upon you of their own inclination.” —Publius Terentius Afer (Terence).

[xilinjiangart]

There’s a pretty famous line by the Roman playwright Publius Terentius Afer (aka Terence) who says:

“I am human: nothing human is alien to me”

So do you guys think people like Bruce and Harley who likely spent a good while in academia ever came across it?

And do you think they ever thought about it when they met Joker?

[crunchynoodle]

“Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto."

Translated: “I am human, I consider nothing that is human alien to me."

Attributed to Terence, (Publius Terentius Afer) , freed slave of Senator Terentius Lucanus

"I would never-"

You would if you were tired enough. You would if you were hungry enough. You would if your mind and body had been worn down enough, through pain or disease or toil or violent struggle. You might if you were put on the wrong medicine, or you got the wrong kind of head injury, or you were forced to choose between someone else and yourself. You might if your livelihood was staked on it, or all your hopes and dreams. You might if you didn't know what else to do, if it's what you were taught or if nobody taught you anything else.

I have not been worn down in most of these ways. I have lived a remarkably privileged life. But I have been worn down in some ways. And they were enough to teach me that in the wrong circumstances, any of us can become someone we don't want to be. It's worth keeping that in mind.

Homo sum: humani nihil a me alienum puto. (english: I am human, I consider nothing human alien to me.)

"Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto", or "I am human, and I think nothing human is alien to me." - Terence (Publius Terentius Afer)

Okay so that was a whole stuff around getting it uploaded to tumblr, they have removed uploading audio files for now and only way I could get it to link was to log on outside of the app, create a post to make a work around. It's not ideal, but it should download an mp3 file that will play within the app.

Thank you for sending in your quote even if you didn't make it easy with the latin and I hope it plays as it is meant to. Tumblr just never makes it easy.

a bit of #background

Sup Tumblr, hope everyone’s day is going well. Mine is, and it would be even cooler if you went and read or watched some of my plays! My name is Terence, or Publius Terentius Afer. A little bit about me: I am a Roman playwright, and I don’t know this yet but I lived from 195-159 B.C. I was born in Carthage and died in Greece. I was a slave and taken to Rome by Terentius Lucanus, and I ended up getting to get an education and freedom because he was impressed with me. I have a daughter and a small house outside of Rome, but left that behind when I went exploring to Greece and didn’t return. I write plays and a lot of my writing is comedy, and my major works include Andria, Hecyra, Heauton Timorumenos, Phormio, Eunuchus, and Adelphoe. In this post, I’ve attached an artist’s rendition of me.

Rosenwald Collection in the Library of Congress)

Terence writes in a simple conversational Latin, pleasant and direct.Due to his clear and entertaining language, Terence’s works were heavily used by monasteries and convents during the Middle Ages and The Renaissance. Scribes often learned Latin through the meticulous copying of Terence’s texts. Priests and nuns often learned to speak Latin through reenactment of Terence’s plays, thereby learning both Latin and Gregorian chants. Although Terence’s plays often dealt with pagan material, the quality of his language promoted the copying and preserving of his text by the church. The preservation of Terence through the church enabled his work to influence much of later Western drama. [Holloway, Julia Bolton (1993). Sweet New Style: Brunetto Latino, Dante Alighieri, Geoffrey Chaucer, Essays, 1981-2005.]

NOT Melanchthon’s copy, with marginal notes!

Georg Franz Burkhard Kloss (31 July 1787 Frankfurt am Main – 10 February 1854 Frankfurt).  Kloss was the son of a physician and studied medicine at Heidelberg and Göttingen, where he became one of the cofounders of the Corps Hannovera Göttingen. He practiced medicine in Frankfurt. He became a book collector, and gathered a fine collection of old manuscripts,. On February 21, 1838, New York book auction house Cooley & Bangs began a three day sale during which they offered more than 313 incunabula distributed among 1,302 lots. Many incunables came from the collection of George Kloss and had appeared in the London sale of his books three years before. It is entirely possible that the 1838 sale was the first time in America that so many incunables were offered all at once in a single auction..

The bulk of the Kloss books were sold by Sotheby in 1835. Most of the books containing notes were attributed  as owned and annotated by Melanchthon .

The Wisdom of a Former Slave Seven Words That Inspired Marx, Montaigne, and Maya Angelou

Homo sum: humani nihil a me alienum puto. — Terence (Publius Terentius Afer), Heauton Timorumenos, Act 1, scene 1, line 77

I am human, I consider nothing human alien to me.

filed under: names.

1. what’s their full name? why was that chosen? does it mean anything?

terry

name: terrence oberon yoon why: his mother loved shakespeare; dad chose the other name meaning: no known meaning, but it’s from the roman family name terentius; two bearers of the name include a roman playwright named publius terentius afer, better known as terence. his dad didn’t know about it, couldn’t really care much about name meanings, but his mom thought the it must have been fate when she got the chance to look it up. because shakespeare. his second name is a given. oberon is the king of the fairies from a midsummer night’s dream. his mom hoped he’d grow up handsome, so there’s that. every one of the siblings had names inspired by shakespeare. they’re pissed because only lance had a subjectively cool one.

jiyoung

name: moon jiyoung / wen zhi ying why: to match with his twin brother jihoon / zhi xun meaning: it’s a unisex name that’s is mostly considered feminine. it really fits him, though. he identifies completely as male, but doesn’t exactly subject himself to normal gender and sexual standards. i mean, how could he? he’s fucking his twin brother. anyway, the hanja used for this name is 知英 - so his (ji) means knowing and comprehension while his (yeong) means flower petal.

jeonghan

name: yoon jeonghan why: this is an au his mom thought it was a pretty but unique name. his dad didn’t have much say about his name, but jeonghan wishes he could say the same thing about his life. meaning: jeong (clean) han (country); which works because he (secretly) cleans when he’s anxious, and he’s getting really anxious lately. he might as well clean an entire country.

minjun

name: ryu minjun why: his mom wanted him to grow up smart and handsome. i mean, he did. but he’s also a little fucked in the head. his english and christian name is jason. it’s a pretty popular name, but he hates it. meaning: his hanja is 敏俊 (holy shit it’s so small i could barely see what i’m typing). so his (min) means quick, clever, sharp. his (jun) means talented or handsome. which, really, also works. i thought of this name at the last minute. jesus christ. i’m glad this fits. jason, on the other hand, means a healing or he that cures. (minjun voice ha! nice try.)

2. do they have any titles? how did they get them?

terry

the sweetheart

when i first created him, he was made to be the sweetheart - a title he rightfully fucking earned for being the most outgoing and helpful motherfucker there ever was. i had a few threads for him like a year or so ago that proved such, but like. i tweaked him too much to fit a new character because he seemed so basic. no depth, so he has no known titles by me or anyone else (ic or ooc).

jiyoung

castor / gemini

everyone in 247krp had to have a title, so he was castor and his twin brother was pollux. together, they were called gemini - the twins - by the entire school. they were inseparable much like brothers from the greek mythology story, and the constellation. oddly enough, castor and pollux weren’t even twins. in fact, they were half-brothers. on some accounts, they were hatched from eggs. whatever the fuck is the truth, one of them was immortal, and it was pollux. but they were #clingy, so when castor was killed, pollux asked to share his immortality to castor, so zeus took pity and made them a constellation. and that’s what you missed on glee.

jeonghan

the misomaniac

academykrp didn’t exactly ask for titles, but for obvious reasons, this is him - the designated misomaniac. he’s literally the typical college student on the outside, but he’s super picky when it comes to choosing friends or who he hangs out with. more often than not, he’s one fake motherfucker, so he just pretends to like people when he really doesn’t. he’d rather stay home and sleep because life fucks him up when he’s awake. generally, he’s just a very internally negative person due to his upbringing. so even if he doesn’t show it - it shows most of the time, even when he doesn’t mean to - he’s mostly just sad more than anything.

minjun

room full of crazy

minjun didn’t see the light of day because i lost muse for his app and the directory altogether. but i loved his character, so i put him on here. room full of crazy is pretty much just a trope, but he’s so obsessed with horror and the occult, his walls are plastered with symbols and photos of morbid and grotesque shit. he’s the obsessive type, too. so whether it’s from a new movie he discovered or a conspiracy theory or even a missing person’s case, when he gets into something, he won’t stop writing, typing, drawing, and thus, it’ll definitely go up on his wall.

Breif on Terence

Though his name bears resemblance to genitalia, Publius Terentius Afer (a.k.a. Terence) was a pretty decent guy. He was a roman playwright, born in 195/185 BC (we don’t fucking know) and barely made it to the fifties. (the poor guy died in 159 BC) 

Terentius Lucamus (sounds like a spell but okay) was a roman senator, and brought Terence to Rome as a slave. There Lucamus educated big-T and later on, being so damn impressed with his sick abilities, freed him. 

We assume he bit the dust in Greece or on his way back to Rome. But we don’t know, bc it’s like crazy many years ago. 

Though he lived almost two decades before Jesus (if J-rock ever existed lol), all of his six plays have survived (yaaaas)

He is known for the famous quote “Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto.” which translates to “I am human, and nothing of that which is human is alien to me.”
