Sinopsis

Amphitruo, by Titus Maccius Plautus, is a cornerstone of Roman comedy and a foundational text in the history of Western theater. This edition presents the play in its original Latin alongside an English translation, offering readers a unique opportunity to engage with the text in its original form. Plautus?s comedic genius shines through in this tale of mistaken identity, divine intervention, and the foibles of human nature. The story revolves around Amphitryon, a Theban general, whose likeness is assumed by Jupiter for amorous purposes, leading to a series of hilarious and confusing encounters. With its witty dialogue, farcical situations, and timeless themes, 'Amphitruo' continues to entertain and resonate with audiences today. Friedrich Lindemann?s meticulous edition ensures accessibility for both scholars and enthusiasts of classical literature, preserving the vibrancy and humor of Plautus?s masterpiece.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
