Adelphi, or The Brothers, is a comedic play by the Roman playwright Terence, written around 160 BCE. It follows the contrasting lives of two brothers, Micio and Demea, who embody different temperaments and lifestyles—Micio is a single Athenian while Demea is a married country man. The plot involves themes of debauchery, elopement, and family dynamics, culminating in Demea's admonition against excess and a call for moderation. This work is notable for its exploration of moral lessons within the context of comedy.
