Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a lively translation of Plautus' Amphitruo, a comedy first staged in Rome in 186 BC. The play is based on the Greek myth of Zeus seducing Alcmena while her husband, Amphitryon, is away at war. It follows the domestic chaos that ensues when the god impersonates the warrior… and claims conjugal bliss as his right. Compounding the domestic intrigue is the doubling of the hero's servant, Sosia: when the mortal Sosia is sent to deliver news of Amphitryon's imminent return, he is confronted by his divine likeness. The author provides a vivid portrayal of this fantastical encounter between mortals and gods, where mistaken identity and misplaced trust upend the established order. By examining the themes of divine authority, marital fidelity, and the nature of heroism, this book opens a window into the values and beliefs of the ancient world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
