About the show

Sostratos falls in love with the daughter of the ill-tempered farmer Knemon and seeks his consent to marry her. With help from Knemon’s stepson Gorgias, Sostratos proves his work ethic and helps rescue Knemon from a well. Knemon relents and blesses the marriage; Sostratos’s father also agrees to Gorgias marrying Sostratos’s sister, while Knemon is carried into the wedding celebration.
