Amphitryon is a play by the Roman author Plautus, adapted by Francisco Palencia, Íñigo Palencia and Carlos Checa. This edition, published by Ediciones Clásicas, presents the work in Spanish and has 95 pages. The comedy tells the story of Jupiter, who disguises himself as Amphitryon to spend the night with his wife Alcmena, generating a funny confusion of identities.
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.
