Eunuchus (The Eunuch) is a comedy written by the 2nd century BC Roman playwright Terence featuring a complex plot of rape and reconciliation. It was Terence's most successful play during his lifetime. Suetonius notes how the play was staged twice in a single day and won Terence 8,000 sesterces.[1] The play is a loose translation of one written by Menander in Greek.[2]
The play was first performed at the Megalesian Games in Rome in the spring of 161 BC. It is the fourth of Terence's six plays.[3]
