Epidicus

About the show

The clever slave Epidicus repeatedly tricks his master Periphanes into giving him money to satisfy Periphanes’s son Stratippocles, who has fallen for different captive women. When Epidicus’s deceptions are exposed, the captive girl proves to be Periphanes’s long-lost daughter; the father and daughter reunite, Stratippocles is freed from an incestuous match, and Epidicus wins his freedom and a reward.
