«Anfitrión» is the comedy by Titus Maccius Plautus, published by Midac Llibres in paperback (62 pages, in Spanish).
Comedy about the myth of Amphitryon and Alcmena in which Plautus pushes equivocation, wordplay and mistaken identity to the limit. Considered one of his last works, it parodies Greek tragedy; the pair formed by Sosias and Mercury has been seen as a prototype of his comedy.
The edition includes introduction, translation and notes by Jesús Ricardo Martín Fernández, Beatriz Martín González and Raúl Doval Salgado.
For readers of classical theater who want an edition in Spanish with introduction, translation and notes.
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.
