Answer Key to the Exercises GVE p. 29

Reading Exercise:
The Lar enters the stage. He is the god of Euclio’s family. The Lar preserves the treasure of Demaenetus beneath the earth. Much treasure is in the pot. Euclio, however, does not know about the treasure because he does not take care of the Lar. For he gives him no ointment/perfume, no garlands, no respect. Phaedra, however, the daughter of the miserly old men, the Lar does love. For Euclio’s daughter gives (him) much ointment, many garlands, (and) much respect. Therefore the Lar gives Euclio the pot of Demaenetus because Euclio’s daughter is good. Euclio, however, places the pot again beneath the earth because he is a miser. For Euclio fears thieves very much! He has many worries! The treasure worries the miserly and anxious old man. For the houses of rich men are full of thieves.
