An essential part of ancient theater’s music was its ludic nature. After examining briefly several examples of this phenomenon from both Greece and Rome, this paper reviews in detail the playful musical patterns of Mostellaria, a comedy by the Roman playwright Plautus. Timothy J. Moore is John and Penelope Biggs Distinguished Professor of Classics at Washington University in St. Louis. His publications includeArtistry and Ideology: Livy’s Vocabulary of Virtue, The Theater of Plautus,Music in Roman Comedy, Roman Theatre, a translation of Terence’sPhormio, and articles on Latin literature, the teaching of Greek and Latin, ancient music, American Musical Theater, and Japanese comedy.
