Immerse yourself in the hilarious recreation of the classic myth of Hercules' conception by Jupiter, a work full of misunderstandings that transforms into a tragicomedy. Accompany an old miser who finds a pot full of money buried in his house. This volume presents the original text in Latin, the Catalan translation by Marçal Olivar, with annotations, and a prologue by Esther Artigas, an expert in Roman theater from the University of Barcelona.
Titus Maccius Plautus was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are the earliest Latin literary works to have survived in their entirety. He wrote Palliata comoedia, the genre devised by Livius Andronicus, the innovator of Latin literature. The word Plautine refers to both Plautus's own works and works similar to or influenced by his. He influenced some of the greatest figures in literature, including Shakespeare and Molière.
