Excerpt from Scenes From the Rudens of Plautus
Scene. The sea-coast of Africa, near the Greek colony of Cyrene. A steep rock runs out upon the beach; on the left, behind, is a small temple of Venus with an altar in front on the right, but out of sight, the house of Daemones, an Athenian, who has settled there.
