Terence (in Latin Publius Terentius Afer), born in Carthage around 190 and died in 159 BC. J.-C., is a Latin comic poet, perhaps of Berber origin. Author of only six plays which have all come down to us, he is considered, along with Plautus, as one of the two great masters of the genre in Rome, and his work has had a profound influence on European theatre, from Antiquity to the Times Modern. Anne Dacier, was born Le Fèvre in Grandchamp, south of Langres, in 1645 (month and day unknown), and was baptized in Is-sur-Tille, on December 24, 1645. She died on August 17, 1720, at the Louvre in Paris. She is a very famous French philologist and translator in her time.
