The comedy ”Phormio” by Terence is about two cousins in Athens, Phaedria and Antipho, who both are in love with complications. The clever ”parasite” Phormio manage with legal wranglings to help the both young men to get their loved ones. It was first performed in 161 BC and is by many considered to be one of the best Roman comedies. Bengt Lassen (1908-74) var hovrättsråd och åren 1953-73 VD för Norstedts förlag. Han var en duktig latinist och hade en fin samling romerska författare. Han figurerar i bakgrunden i Maria Langs deckare ”Mördarens bok”.
